Abstract

We examined the adsorption properties of double walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) synthesized by using a catalytic chemical decomposition vapor method. To analyze the structural and energetical surface characteristics of the DWCNTs, nitrogen and benzene adsorption isotherms were measured. The Toth isotherm equation was used to correlate the adsorption data and evaluate the thermodynamic properties such as Henry's constant and the adsorption second virial coefficient. The existence of heterogeneous surface in DWCNTs was confirmed by the analysis of pore size distribution, the isosteric heat of adsorption, and the adsorption energy distribution determined for nitrogen and benzene.
