Improvement of the Derjaguin−Broekhoff−de Boer Theory for Capillary Condensation/Evaporation of Nitrogen in Mesoporous Systems and Its Implications for Pore Size Analysis of MCM-41 Silicas and Related Materials

In this work, we propose an improvement of the classical Derjaguin−Broekhoff−de Boer (DBdB) theory for capillary condensation/evaporation in mesoporous systems. The primary idea of this improvement is to employ the Gibbs−Tolman−Koenig−Buff equation to predict the surface tension changes in mesopores...
