Key Points

• The aim is to investigate the behavior of water self-dissociation confined in slit pores.
• Utilized molecular dynamics simulations to analyze water behavior in slit pores.
• Examined the effects of pore size on self-dissociation rates.
• Observed non-monotonic self-dissociation behavior in water based on pore dimensions.
• Identified critical pore sizes that significantly influence dissociation rates.
