Abstract

This review focuses on important aspects of applying physisorption for the pore structural characterization of hierarchical materials such as mesoporous zeolites. During the last decades major advances in understanding the adsorption and phase behavior of fluids confined in ordered nanoporous materials have been made, which led to major progress in the physisorption characterization methodol. (summarized in the 2015 IUPAC report on physisorption characterization). Here we discuss progress and challenges for the physisorption characterization of nanoporous solids exhibiting various levels of porosity from micro- to macropores. While physisorption allows one to assess micro- and mesopores, a widely employed method for textural anal. of macroporous materials is mercury porosimetry and we also review important insights assocd. with the underlying mechanisms governing mercury intrusion/extrusion expts. Hence, although the main focus of this review is on phys. adsorption, we strongly emphasize the importance of combining advanced phys. adsorption with other complementary exptl. techniques for obtaining a reliable and comprehensive understanding of the texture of hierarchically structured materials.
