Hello, me again. I was wondering, why can we infer mesoporosity in a material if it shows hysteresis in it's nitrogen isotherm? Any recommendations to any papers in the literature would be appreciated :)
I'm no specialist, but hysteresis means that not all of the adsorbed gas desorbs. One cause for this (among several) could be a broad range of different pore/cavity sizes. As for references, I'll have to let you do your own literature search
Prof. Stuart - you videos are absolutely a class of their own! You are a very effective teacher.
I'm glad you enjoyed them
Fantastic video
