Sorption Hysteresis : A Statistical Thermodynamic Fluctuation Theory
Hysteresis is observed commonly in sorption isotherms of porous materials. Still, there has so far been no unified approach that can both model hysteresis and assess its underlying energetics. Standard approaches, such as capillary condensation and isotherms based on interfacial equations of state,...

| Zusammenfassung: | Hysteresis is observed commonly in sorption isotherms of porous materials. Still, there has so far been no unified approach that can both model hysteresis and assess its underlying energetics. Standard approaches, such as capillary condensation and isotherms based on interfacial equations of state, have not proved to be up to the task. Here, we show that a statistical thermodynamic approach can achieve the following needs simultaneously: (i) showing why adsorption and desorption transitions may be sharp yet continuous; (ii) providing a simple (analytic) isotherm equation for hysteresis branches; (iii) clarifying the energetics underlying sorption hysteresis; and (iv) providing macroscopic and nanoscopic perspectives to understanding hysteresis. This approach identifies the two pairs of parameters (determinable by fitting experimental data) that are required to describe the hysteresis: the free energy per molecule within the pore clusters and the cluster size in the pores. The present paper focuses on providing mechanistic insights to IUPAC hysteresis types H1, H2(a), and H2(b) and can also be applied to the isotherm types IV and V |
