Equilibrium and dynamics of acetylene sorption in multiwalled carbon nanotubes
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and by adsorption of N 2 and acetylene. The dynamics of acetylene sorption was studied by frequency response spectroscopy. The average tube dimension and the shell number were determined from a statistical evaluation of the TEM images. This value agreed with that obtained from XRD via the Scherrer equation only if a shape factor of 0.49 was used. The diffusion of acetylene in the nanotubes of the MWCNT sample was found to be the rate-controlling step of the sorption process. Relationships between the tube dimensions and the equilibrium and dynamic sorption properties were demonstrated.
