CF4 ADSORPTION ON OPEN CARBON NANOHORNS AGGREGATES
We have measured adsorption isotherms at ten different temperatures from 90.432 K to 163.812 K for CF4 on a sample of chemically-opened carbon nanohorns. The interior of the individual nanohorns is accessible to sorbates in these chemically opened nanohorns. Two substeps are visible in the adsorpti...
