文摘
We present in situ monitoring of water filling of single-walled carbon nanotubes at room temperature, using X-ray scattering. A systematic method is developed to determine the water radial density profile. Water filling is homogeneous below about 5% in mass, whereas it structures into three layers above. These results should motivate further theoretical and simulations studies and allow getting a better understanding of the very peculiar properties of water confined in hydrophobic environment.
