Intervening liquid-vapor interface with atomically thin nanopore-film to manipulate kinetically limited evaporation

•A simple method was proposed to manipulate liquid evaporation using an atomically thin nanopore film.•Nonequilibrium molecular evaporation behaviors were studied through molecular dynamics simulations.•Lyophilic nanopore-film intervened liquid surfaces have faster evaporation rates than the free liquid surfaces.•Molecular adsorption on the nanopore film plays a critical role in determining the evaporation rate.
