24. The carbon dioxide was chosen since its solubility in bulk water is high, which helps to accelerate simulation. The essential features were retained as nitrogen or oxygen was chosen.

27. We also carried out MD simulations with silica tubes and a CNT with varying cross sections to better match the parallel experiments. Although different infiltration and defiltration rates were observed, similar gas-phase effects and tube radius effects were revealed.
28. The interaction between the CNT atoms and water molecules is the van der Waals interaction, whose cutoff distance is about 1 nm. The effect of the CNT capped end on initial infiltration behavior is secondary as long as the tube (pore) length is much longer than 1 nm.
