Fullerene-Intercalated Graphene Nano-Containers — Mechanism of Argon Adsorption and High-Pressure CH and CO Storage Capacities

Using GCMC simulations, we discuss the mechanism of argon adsorption onto intercalated graphene nano-containers (NanoBuds). The mechanism is related to the shapes of the high-resolution α S -plots. Next, we have tested the applicability of these materials to the storage of methane and carbon dioxide...
