Knowledge of the material\u2019s structure and its relationship to adsorbent-adsorbate interactions strongly influences the interpretation of experimental results and the design of new, more efficient adsorbents. <\/p>\n
The description of the porous volume distributions and the measurement of specific surface areas are extremely important in this context.<\/p>\n
We will briefly review the modern techniques used to characterize the porous structure of various materials (activated carbons, zeolites, MOFs, etc.), along with the most recent theoretical methods that can support experimental characterization. In particular, we will present the newest computational approach, PoLA (Porosity Local Analysis), designed to describe the porous volume and surface in both atomistic models and real samples, and to predict adsorption properties. <\/p>\n
