Conceptual visualization of nanoporous materials by pore size

Caption

A conceptual visualization of nanoporous materials across pore size scales. A nanopore is a pore with a diameter typically 1–100 nm, classified as micropores (< 2 nm), mesopores (2–50 nm), and macropores (> 50 nm). For reference, a water molecule has a diameter of approximately 0.3 nm.
