| Abstract: | Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and by adsorption of N2 and acetylene. The dynamics of acetylene sorption was studied by frequency response spectroscopy. The average tube dimension and the shell number were determined from a statistical evaluation of the TEM images. This value agreed with that obtained from XRD via the Scherrer equation only if a shape factor of 0.49 was used. The diffusion of acetylene in the nanotubes of the MWCNT sample was found to be the rate-controlling step of the sorption process. Relationships between the tube dimensions and the equilibrium and dynamic sorption properties were demonstrated. |
