Novel Characterization of Porous Structure and Surface Chemistry of Carbon

该项目的目的是开发新的表征方法来探测碳的结构和表面化学，从高度石墨化的热炭黑到有序的介孔碳再到无序的多孔活性炭。该项目计划开发一种基于楔形孔隙的新型通用分子模型。传统的平行侧孔模型不能解释真实的结构，因此不能解释真实材料中的吸附物理。然后，该项目计划用高分辨率的实验测量来支持理论模型。预计该模型将统一所有碳的结构分析，并在合理和物理上合理的框架内解释所有实验等温线。

The aim of this project is to develop novel characterisation methods that probe the structure and surface chemistry of carbons, ranging from highly graphitised thermal carbon black through ordered mesoporous carbon to disordered porous activated carbon. The project plans to develop a new generic molecular model based on wedge-shaped pores. Conventional parallel sided pore models fail to account for real structures and therefore for the physics of adsorption in real materials. The project then plans to back the theoretical model with high-resolution experimental measurements. It is expected that the model will unify the structural analysis for all carbons and account for all experimental isotherms within a rational and physically plausible framework.
