(Invited) Structural Characterization of Nanoporous Materials Via Gas Sorption

摘要

Recently, much effort has been devoted to the development of nanoporous materials which exhibit hierarchical pore structure with the appropriate balance of micro- and mesopores, as well as advantageous pore connectivity. The network of interconnected micro- and mesopores facilitates efficient transfer of fluids to and from active sites within and through the material, leading to benefits in numerous applications. Detailed insights into the pore architecture (pore size distribution, pore volume, and pore interconnectivity) are important because they control transport phenomena, diffusional rates, and govern selectivity.
