“…CdS nanocomposites Determination of the adsorption excess isotherm, n 1 (n) ϭ f( x 1 ), as reported previously (14 -16), led to the values n 1 s ϭ 4.75 mmol/g, n 2 s ϭ 3.59 mmol/g, and n 1,0 s ϭ 11.0 mmol/g for HPD-M. For DBS-C, n 1 s ϭ 1.05 mmol/g, n 2 s ϭ 0.91 mmol/g, and n 1,0 s ϭ 2.71 mmol/g, using the Schay-Nagy extrapolation method (15), or by the Everett-Schay function (13). These values, in turn, permitted the calculation of the volume of the adsorption layer (i.e., the volume of the nanoreactors, V s ) to be 0.664 cm 3 /g for HPD-M and 0.164 cm 3 /g for DBS-C.…”
