Abstract
N 2 physisorption on Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNTs) was investigated by cryogenic thermal-desorption spectroscopy (cryo-TDS). TDS spectra revealed a desorption peak at 48 K (α) for as-purified SWCNTs and an additional desorption peak at 73 K (β) for air-oxidized SWCNTs. When N 2 and H 2 were coadsorbed on SWCNTs, H 2 adsorption was blocked by the N 2 preadsorption. By comparing the TDS data with and without the N 2 preadsorption, the α and β peaks were attributed to N 2 adsorbed on the groove site and inside of SWCNTs, respectively.
