Grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations are performed to study the adsorption of water in single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNs). At room temperature the resulting adsorption isotherms in (10: 10) and wider SWCNs are characterized by negligible amount of water uptake at low pressures, sudden and complete pore filling once a threshold pressure is reached, and wide adsorption/desorption hysteresis loops. The width of these loops decreases as pore diameter narrows. Adsorption/desorption hysteresis loops are not observed for water adsorption in (6:6) SWCNs. When the nanotubes are doped with small amounts of oxygenated sites it is possible to obtain adsorption isotherms in which the water uptake increases gradually as the pressure increases. Simulated X-ray diffraction patterns for confined water are also reported.
