Material characterisation

This section will have several examples of porous material characterisation that can be performed using pyGAPS. A complete applicability guide and info on each function parameters can be found in the reference manual.

• Specific surface area determination
  • BET surface area
  • Langmuir surface area
• t-plot calculations
• The \(\alpha_s\) method
• Pore size distribution
  • Mesoporous pore size distribution
  • Microporous pore size distribution
  • Kernel fit pore size distribution
  • Comparing all the PSD methods
• Dubinin-Radushkevich and Dubinin-Astakov plots
• Sorption enthalpy calculations
  • Isosteric enthalpy (Clausius-Clapeyron)
  • Whittaker method
• Henry's constant calculations
