The comparative characterization of structural heterogeneity of mesoporous activated carbon fibers (ACFs)

The comparative analysis of the most widely used methods of mesoporosity characterization of two activated carbon fibers is presented. Not only the older methods are used, i.e. Barrett, Joyner and Halenda ( BJH), Dubinin (the so-called first variant— D 1ST and the so-called second variant— D 2ND ),...

Description
Summary:The comparative analysis of the most widely used methods of mesoporosity characterization of two activated carbon fibers is presented. Not only the older methods are used, i.e. Barrett, Joyner and Halenda ( BJH), Dubinin (the so-called first variant— D 1ST and the so-called second variant— D 2ND ), Dollimore and Heal ( DH), and Pierce ( P) but the recently developed ones, i.e. the method of Nguyen and Do ( ND) and that developed by Do ( Do) are also applied. Additionally, the method of the characterization of fractality is put to use (fractal analog of FHH isotherm). The results are compared and discussed.
