Abstract

Hysteresis phenomena are observed in many nanoporous environments during adsorption/desorption isothermal quasiequilibrium cycles. A non-local DFT model has been developed for predicting adsorption/desorption isotherms in nanopores of different geometries in the wide range of pore sizes (0.5–10 nm) based on given intermolecular fluid/fluid and fluid/solid potentials. Depending on the confining geometry and the intermolecular potentials two types of hysteresis phenomena are occurred: capillary condensation/evaporation that implies volume filling of pores with a liquid-like matter, and layering adsorption/desorption that implies sequential step-wise formation of adsorption layers. It is shown that the DFT model qualitatively describes these phenomena and is in a reasonable quantitative agreement with some of the experiments.
