Quasi-Liquid Layer on Ice and Its Effect on the Confined Freezing of Porous Materials

Freezing of the water confined in thin pores can be destructive to the porous frame, but the effect of the quasi-liquid layer (QLL) between the confined ice and the pore walls remains still far from being fully understood. In the present study, the physical origins of the intermediate phase of QLL w...
