Abstract
We present a new atomistic model for evaluating the surface area and porosity of micro-mesoporous carbons. This method, referred to as the atomistic pore domain model (APDM), advances the adsorption porosity methodology by calculating textural properties of micro-mesoporous carbons without relying on assumptions about pore geometry. A thorough analysis of porosity across eleven porous carbons demonstrates a robust correlation between the surface area accessible to N2 molecules, as computed using APDM and the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method with Rouquerol criterium. This correlation is observed across a spectrum of nanoporous carbons, ranging from ultramicroporous activated carbon fibers and nanoporous carbon beads to supermicro-mesoporous activated carbons and activated carbon fibers. APDM facilitates the extraction of the information regarding the N2 surface area accessibility and the intrinsic geometric surface area of micro-mesoporous carbons. The N2-to-He surface area accessibility ratio of the investigated porous carbons varies from approximately 57 %–94 %, indicating varying degrees of pore sieving among studied carbon samples. Except for ACF-25 micro-mesoporous activated carbon fiber, the intrinsic geometric surface areas of the studied micro-mesoporous carbons are smaller than the geometrical surface area of a single graphene sheet (2640 m2/g).
