Description

In this talk, I’ll share experiments that reveal the electrodynamic properties of water at interfaces and in nanoscale confinement, focusing on proton conductivity and charging effects. I will discuss how ordinary clay materials can be transformed into periodic, interconnected channels that are accessible to water. These channels operate with interfacial water as if it were a distinct material with properties different from those of the bulk liquid. I will demonstrate that protons in water can be manipulated and stored in nanochannels, opening pathways for electric energy applications. These findings reveal previously overlooked interfacial phenomena and suggest new possibilities for water-driven (blue) nanofluidic devices, with applications ranging from filtration and separation to sustainable energy storage.
