Environmental Applications of Engineered Materials with Nanoconfinement
Open accessAbstract
Engineered nanoporous materials have been extensively employed in the environmental field to take advantage of increased surface area and tunable size exclusion. Beyond those benefits, recent studies have uncovered that the confinement of traditional environmental processes within several nanometer pores exerts unique nanoconfinement effects, such as enhanced adsorption capacity, reaction kinetics, and ion selectivity, compared to their analogous processes without spatial confinement. In this review, we provide a systematic discussion covering the current understanding of nanoconfinement effects reported across diverse fields using similar materials and structures as those being explored in environmental technologies. We further abstract the underlying fundamental physical and chemical principles including molecular orientation and rearrangement, reactive center creation, noncovalent binding, and partial desolvation. Finally, we establish connections between promising nanoconfinement observations and traditional environmental processes to identify challenges and opportunities for the development of innovative functional platforms for environmental applications.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
