Water Permeation through a Subnanometer Boron Nitride Nanotube
Abstract
Boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) have been shown to possess many excellent physical properties, including thermal and mechanical properties. In this work, we report on superior water permeation properties of BNNTs. Specifically, using molecular dynamics simulations, we found that water molecules permeate through the (5,5) boron nitride nanotube, while a (5,5) carbon nanotube (CNT) of approximately the same diameter does not conduct water. The relatively strong interactions between the nitride atoms of the BNNT and water molecules play a key role in the continuous wetting behavior of the BNNT. The properties of water, such as the axial diffusion coefficient and the hydrogen bonding, inside the (5,5) BNNT were found to be comparable to those inside the (6,6) CNT, even though the diameter of the (5,5) BNNT is about 1.3 Å smaller than that of the (6,6) CNT.

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.
