In this study, we adopt a dual approach to investigate water confined within infinite graphene slits. Our Molecular Dynamics simulations reveal hysteresis across all investigated temperatures. Unlike in finite slits, where hysteresis arises due to surface tension effects at the edges, in the case of infinite slits, the hysteresis is the result of a genuine phase transition at the nanoscale. We analyze the spatial and orientational arrangements of the water molecules, demonstrating how the graphene surface promotes the formation of a hydrogen bond network in the adjacent water layers. The remarkably low pressure required for water uptake in this nano-environment is explained at the mean-field level using a simple interacting lattice model.

The electron energy-loss spectrum of the C K-edge of the CG showed a decrease in π* and σ* peak intensities, and the onset of the σ* peak shifted to the lower energy side compared with those of graphite. A first-principles calculation suggested that the electronic structure of graphite with the interlayer bond relating to the interstitial atoms and lattice vacancies should be reasonable for the electronic structure of the CG examined.

To address this issue, we utilized graphene oxide nanomaterials for water purification, taking advantage of their exceptional strength and distinct two-dimensional structure.
