“…High values of shape coefficient k could be obtained, for example, in the case of porous materials where the pores have the shapes similar to simple non-spherical geometric structures (for example, k=1.49 for a tetrahedron, k=1.52 for a cone, k=3.20 for a star icosahedron (an icosahedron with a tetrahedron at each face)) or structures extended in one direction (for example, values k>2.00 correspond to oblate spheroids with aspect ratio a/b>5 or to prolate spheroids with a/b>3). Moreover, high surface-to-volume ratios are also characteristic for pores of complicated and irregular shapes, in order to take into account their morphology, the notion of fractal geometry is often used [29,30,[38][39][40][41][42]. According to the approach suggested by us in [30,[40][41][42], the shape of a pore can be characterized by its fractal dimension D which correlates its volume V and surface area A:…”
