Gas adsorption can he used for this characterization because it assesses a broad range of pore sizes, from micropore to mesopore. In the past 20 years, key developments have been achieved both in the knowledge of the adsorption and phase behavior of fluids in ordered nanoporous materials and in the creation and advancement of state-of-the-art approaches based on statistical mechanics, such as molecular sim- ulation and density functional theory. Together with high-resolution experimental procedures for the adsorption of suhcritical and supercritical fluids, this has led to significant advances in physical adsorp- tion textural characterization. In this short, selective review paper, we discuss a few important and central features of the underlying adsorption mechanisms of fluids in a variety of nanoporous materials with well-defined pore structure. The significance of these features for advancing physical adsorption charac- terization and gas storage applications is also discussed.展开更多
