Dynamic electrosorption analysis: a viable liquid-phase characterization method for porous carbon?

Abstract

Characterization is one of the most fundamental aspects in porous carbon research. Due to the complex structure and diversity in crystallinity, morphology, texture, and porosity of traditional porous carbon materials, revealing their structure both on microscopic and bulk levels remains challenging. Using recently developed multilayered graphene membranes as a model porous carbon, this article highlights the potential and challenges of using dynamic electrosorption analysis as a characterization tool for probing the structure of porous carbon in the solution phase. With further theoretical and in situ experimental investigation falling into place, it is expected that dynamic electrosorption analysis could be developed into a standardized technique that complements and covers up the shortfall of the traditional gas adsorption methods.
