Abstract

Over a broad frequency and temperature range, the dielectric characteristics of water contained in 2.5 nm mesoporous nanochannels were investigated. Two noticeable relaxation peaks, dependent on frequency and temperature, were seen in the dielectric tests. Following a thermally stimulated mechanism analogous to that of bulk ice, the glassy transitions of water inside nanochannels cause a low-temperature relaxation. Freezing of water inside the MCM-41 nanochannels is responsible for the non-Arrhenius-type behaviour seen during elevated temperature relaxation (230–280 K).
