High-Resolution Micropore Characterisation of Activated Carbon Using Nitrogen Adsorption on the Matrix 1000
Activated carbon is widely used in adsorption, catalysis, and purification due to its extensive micropore structure (pores < 2 nm). Accurate characterisation of these pores is critical for optimizing material performance. The Matrix 1000 gas sorption analyser, developed by Advanced Measurement Instruments, enables high-resolution micropore analysis through nitrogen (N₂) adsorption at 77 K. This application note demonstrates the Matrix 1000’s ability to perform simultaneous, high-throughput micropore characterisation across four independent stations, delivering exceptional resolution and repeatability at low relative pressures (down to 10⁻⁸ P/P₀).
