I'm by no means an expert, and I may be wrong, but I personally don't think that it's possible to achieve superconductivity at room temperature and normal pressure using this approach at the current state of the art. If you take a look at the phase diagram of the water [1] you could notice that the pressure required to crystallize water at temperature near 105°C is something near p_freeze = 2.5⋅10^9 Pa. However, the water is inside of the nanotubes of radius r = 0.5⋅10^(-9) m (the article says about the tubes being of diameter 1.05 nm). Such small radius creates significant surface tension…
