Abstract: | Accurate characterization of the microporous structure in porous solids is of paramount importance for several applications such as energy and gas storage, nanoconfinement reactions, and so on. Among the different techniques for precise textural characterization, high-precision gas adsorption measurement of probe molecules at cryogenic temperatures (e.g., N2 at 77.4 K and Ar at 87.3 K) is the most widely used, after appropriate calibration of the sample holder with a probe gas, which does not experience physisorption processes. Although traditionally helium has been considered not to be adsorbed in porous solids at cryogenic temperatures, here we show that even at 77.4 K (high above its boiling temperature, 4 K) the use of He in the calibration step can give rise to erroneous interpretations when narrow micropores/constrictions are present. |
