Abstract
Water is a salient component in catalytic systems and acts as a reactant, product and/or spectator species in the reaction. Confined water in distinct local environments can display significantly different behaviors from that of bulk water. Therefore, the wide-ranging chemistry of confined water can provide tremendous opportunities to tune the reaction kinetics. In this review, we focus on drawing the connection between confined water properties and reaction kinetics for heterogeneous (electro)catalysis. First, the properties of confined water are presented, where the enthalpy, entropy, and dielectric properties of water can be regulated by tuning the geometry and hydrophobicity of the cavities. Second,…
