Thermodynamics of adsorption of light alkanes and alkenes in single-walled carbon nanotube bundles
Fernando J. A. L. Cruz, José P. B. Mota
The thermodynamics of adsorption of light alkanes and alkenes (CH4, C2H6, C2H4, C3H8, and C3H6) in single-walled carbon nanotube bundles is studied by configurational-bias grand ca…
