Nanoscopic confinement of ionic solutions is often met in both biological systems and technical applications. As long as the behaviour of ionic solutions in confinement is not fully understood, computer simulations are often employed to investigate the subject. However, electrostatic effects, which occur due to the presence of interfaces, should be properly allowed for. Here, we present molecular dynamics simulations of monovalent salt confined in a rectangular, charged box which releases counterions into the solution. Different height to width ratios and various salt concentrations are studied.
