Abstract:We prepared nanoporous graphene monolith of different porosity by high temperature treatment up to 2073 K in Ar. The porosity is comparatively evaluated with N2 adsorption isotherms at 77.4 K and Ar adsorption isotherms at 87.3 K and 77.4 K. N2 adsorption at 77.4 K shows an excess adsorption amount below 3 × 10 -3 of the relative pressure which is caused by the quadrupole moment of an N2 molecule. This effect doesn't give significant influence on the determination of the total surface area from subtracting pore effect (SPE) method, the micropore volume from Dubinin-Radushkevich (DR) method and the total pore volumes from the Gurvitch rule.However, the peak of the micropore size distribution determined by Horvath-Kawazoe (HK) method from N2 adsorption at 77.4 K shifts to a smaller size than that from Ar adsorption at 87.3 K by 0.05 to 0.09 nm.
