Abstract
We have developed a comprehensive strategy for quantitatively assessing the hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity of nanoporous materials by combining advanced adsorption studies, novel liquid intrusion techniques, and solid-state NMR spectroscopy. For this, we have chosen a well-defined system of model materials, i.e., the highly ordered mesoporous silica molecular sieve SBA-15 in its pristine state and functionalized with different amounts of trimethylsilyl (TMS) groups, allowing one to accurately tailor the surface chemistry while maintaining the well-defined pore structure. For an absolute quantification of the trimethylsilyl group density, quantitative 1H solid-state NMR spectroscopy under magic angle spinning was employed. A full textural characterization of the materials was obtained by high-resolution argon 87 K adsorption, coupled with the application of dedicated methods based on nonlocal-density functional theory (NLDFT). Based on the known texture of the model materials, we developed a novel methodology allowing one to determine the effective contact angle of water adsorbed on the pore surfaces from complete wetting to nonwetting, constituting a powerful parameter for the characterization of the surface chemistry inside porous materials. The surface chemistry was found to vary from hydrophilic to hydrophobic as the TMS functionalization content was increased. For wetting and partially wetting surfaces, pore condensation of water is observed at pressures P smaller than the bulk saturation pressure p0 (i.e., at p/p0 < 1) and the effective contact angle of water on the pore walls could be derived from the water sorption isotherms. However, for nonwetting surfaces, pore condensation occurs at pressures above the saturation pressure (i.e., at p/p0 > 1). In this case, we investigated the pore filling of water (i.e., the vapor-liquid phase transition) by the application of a novel, liquid water intrusion/extrusion methodology, allowing one to derive the effective contact angle of water on the pore walls even in the case of nonwetting. Complementary molecular simulations provide density profiles of water on pristine and TMS-grafted silica surfaces (mimicking the tailored, functionalized experimental silica surfaces), which allow for a molecular view on the water adsorbate structure. Summarizing, we present a comprehensive and reliable methodology for quantitatively assessing the hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity of siliceous nanoporous materials, which has the potential to optimize applications in heterogeneous catalysis and separation (e.g., chromatography).

Abstract
The "in situ electrolyte" displays a concept for electric double-layer- as well as metal-ion capacitors in which the by-products formed during carbon synthesis serve directly as electrolyte salt to minimize waste. In this work, the concept is applied for lithium- and sodium-based systems realizing EDLCs containing aqueous, "Water in Salt" (up to 1.8 V) as well as organic (2.4 V) electrolytes. Via the mechanochemical synthesis, carbon materials with surface areas up to 2000 m2 g-1 and an optimal amount of remaining by-product are designed from the renewable resource lignin. Different cation-anion combinations are enabled by further modification directly inside the pores creating imide-based salts which are tracked by synchrotron in situ XRD. By the addition of solvents, the EDLCs show good capacitances up to 21 F g-1 combined with excellent rate performances and stabilities. Moreover, the LiTFSI loaded carbon as positive electrode introduces a new tunable lithium alternative for the pre-lithiation of Li-ion capacitors displaying a good rate performance and cyclability.

Abstract
In this study, we report a facile one-step chemical method to synthesize reduced titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotube arrays (NTAs) with point defects. Treatment with NaBH4 introduces oxygen vacancies (OVs) in the TiO2 lattice. Chemical analysis and optical studies indicate that the OV density can be significantly increased by changing reduction time treatment, leading to higher optical transmission of the TiO2 NTAs and retarded carrier recombination in the photoelectrochemical process. A cathodoluminescence (CL) study of reduced TiO2 (TiO2-x) NTAs revealed that OVs contribute significantly to the emission bands in the visible range. It was found that the TiO2 NTAs reduced for a longer duration exhibited a higher concentration of OVs. A typical CL spectrum of TiO2 was deconvoluted to four Gaussian components, assigned to F, F+, and Ti3+ centers. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements were used to support the change in the surface chemical bonding and electronic valence band position in TiO2. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectra confirmed the presence of OVs in the TiO2-x sample. The prepared TiO2-x NTAs show an enhanced photocurrent for water splitting due to pronounced light absorption in the visible region, enhanced electrical conductivity, and improved charge transportation.

Abstract
Porous solids with nanometer-sized pores and large surface areas are a highly important class of materials. Uses of such materials include filtration, batteries, catalysts, and carbon sequestration. These porous solids are characterized by their surface areas, typically >100 m2/g, and pore size distributions. These parameters are typically measured using cryogenic physisorption, frequently referred to as Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis when BET theory is applied to interpret experimental results. Cryogenic physisorption and related analysis elucidate how a particular solid interacts with the cryogenic adsorbate, but this can be a poor predictor of how that solid will interact with other adsorbates, limiting the applicability of the results. Additionally, the cryogenic temperatures and deep vacuum required for cryogenic physisorption can cause kinetic limitations and experimental difficulties. This method nevertheless remains the standard technique to characterize porous materials for a wide variety of applications due to limited other options. In this work, a thermogravimetric desorption technique for determining surface areas and pore size distributions of porous solids available to adsorbates having boiling points above ambient temperature at ambient pressure is presented. A thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) is used to measure temperature-dependent adsorbate mass loss, and isotherms are derived. For systems that exhibit multilayer formation, BET theory is applied to isotherms to derive specific surface areas. For systems that do not exhibit multilayer formation, the Kelvin equation is applied to determine pore size distributions and surface areas for the porous materials. In this study, the thermogravimetric method is applied to four adsorbents and two adsorbates─water and toluene─and results are compared to cryogenic physisorption results.

Evaporation-driven electrokinetic energy conversion: Critical review, parametric analysis and perspectives. Adv Colloid Interface Sci 2022; 305:102708.

Abstract
Energy harvesting from evaporation has become a "hot" topic in the last couple of years. Researchers have speculated on several possible mechanisms. Electrokinetic energy conversion is the least hypothetical one. The basics of pressure-driven electrokinetic phenomena of streaming current and streaming potential have long been established. The regularities of evaporation from porous media are also well known. However, "coupling" of these two classes of phenomena has not, yet, been seriously explored. In this critical review, we will recapitalize and combine the available knowledge from these two fields to produce a coherent picture of electrokinetic electricity generation during evaporation from (nano)porous materials. For illustration, we will consider several configurations, namely, single nanopores, arrays of nanopores, systems with reduced area of electrokinetic-conversion elements and devices with side evaporation from thin nanoporous films. For the latter (practically the only one studied experimentally), we will formulate a simple model describing correlations of system performance with such principal parameters as the nanoporous-layer length, width and thickness as well as the pore size, pore-surface hydrophilicity, effective zeta-potential and electric conductivity in nanopores. These correlations will be qualitatively compared with experimental data available in the literature. We will see that experimental data not always are in agreement with the model predictions, which may be due to simplifying model assumptions but also because the mechanisms are different from the classical electrokinetic energy conversion. In particular, this concerns the mechanisms of conversion of evaporation-driven ion streaming currents into electron currents in external circuits. We will also formulate directions of future experimental and theoretical studies that could help clarify these issues.

Abstract
Alterations of fluid phase transitions in porous materials are conventionally employed for the characterization of mesoporous solids. In the first approximation, this may be based on the application of the Kelvin equation for gas-liquid and the Gibbs-Thomson equation for solid-liquid phase equilibria for obtaining pore size distributions. Herein, we provide a comparative analysis of different phase coexistences measured in mesoporous silica solids with different pore sizes and morphology. Instead of comparing the resulting pore size distributions, we rather compare the transitions directly by using a common coordinate for varying the experiment's thermodynamic parameters based on the two equations mentioned. Both phase transitions in these coordinates produce comparable results for mesoporous solids of relatively large pore sizes. In contrast, marked differences are found for materials with smaller pore sizes. This illuminates the fact that, with reducing confinement sizes, thermodynamic fluctuations become increasingly important and different for different equilibria considered. In addition, we show that in the coordinate used for analysis, mercury intrusion matches perfectly with desorption and freezing transitions.

Abstract
Water vapor has been one of the vital problems in purification of volatile organic compounds. In this study, the adsorption-desorption equilibrium of water vapor were conducted at 298, 308, 318, and 328 K on three adsorbents: hypercrosslinked polymeric adsorbents (HPA), activated carbon fiber (ACF) and granular activated carbon (GAC). The obtained isotherms were type V and the adsorption capacity at the same condition was: GAC>ACF>HPA. cluster formation induced micropore filling (CIMF) model was adopted to fit the adsorption isotherms and the fitting parameters showed that adsorption capacities of water vapor on micropores and functional groups had a negative logarithmic linear relationship with temperature. The existence of functional groups could weaken the negative influence of temperature on the water adsorption performance, while the influence of temperature had negligible relationship with microporous volume. The hysteresis loops at different temperatures on three adsorbents had similar shape, the size of which were also: GAC>ACF>HPA. They mainly occurred in micropore adsorption, but their size had positive relationships with both functional groups and microporous volume. The hysteresis became smaller along with the increase of temperature, closely related with the stability of water clusters. In conclusion, temperature, functional groups and porous structure played crucial roles for water vapor adsorption and the formation of hysteresis.Implications: Water vapor is one of the vital influence for VOCs recovery, so studying the adsorption mechanism of water vapor is important to weaken its negative effect. Adsorption capacities of water vapor on both micropores and functional groups had a negative logarithmic linear relationship with temperature. The existence of functional groups could weaken the negative influence of temperature on the water adsorption performance, while the influence of temperature had negligible relationship with microporous volume. The hysteresis loops on three adsorbents mainly occurred in micropore adsorption, but their size had positive relationships with both functional groups and microporous volume.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Developing materials for thermally driven adsorption chillers and adsorption heat pumps is a growing research field due to the potential of these technologies to address up to 50% of the world's total energy demand. These materials must be abundant, easy to synthesize, hydrophilic, and low in cost. Bare carbon materials are hydrophobic and therefore usually not considered for these applications. However, by introducing heteroatoms and tuning their porosity, the hydrophilicity of carbonaceous networks can be increased significantly. EXPERIMENTAL Herein, a series of highly nitrogen doped carbonaceous materials (CNs) have been synthesized by submitting uric acid to heat treatment at different temperatures in the presence of an inorganic salt mix as solvent and pore template. The effect of the thermal treatment on the materials composition, pore network, and water sorption capability has been studied. FINDINGS At 800 °C, a nitrogen depleted carbonaceous material with a maximal water uptake of 1.38gH2O g-1 is obtained. Condensation at 750 °C creates an ultra-hydrophilic CN with a water uptake of 0.8 gH2O g-1 at already much lower partial pressures. While the maximum uptake is mainly ascribed to the mesopore volume of the material, the differences in hydrophilicity can be controlled by functionality.

Abstract
The morphology and structural changes of confined matter are still far from being understood. This report deals with the development of a novel in situ method based on the combination of anomalous small-angle X-ray scattering (ASAXS) and X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy to directly probe the evolution of the xenon adsorbate phase in mesoporous silicon during gas adsorption at 165 K. The interface area and size evolution of the confined xenon phase were determined via ASAXS demonstrating that filling and emptying the pores follow two distinct mechanisms. The mass density of the confined xenon was found to decrease prior to pore emptying. XANES analyses showed that Xe exists in two different states when confined in mesopores. This combination of methods provides a smart new tool for the study of nanoconfined matter for catalysis, gas, and energy storage applications.

Abstract
The main aim of this study was to evaluate options for addressing two pressing challenges related to environmental quality and circular economy stemming from wastage or underutilization of abundant biomass residue resources and contamination of water by industrial effluents. In this study we focused on residues (endocarp) from Macaúba palm (Acrocomia aculeata) used for oil production, its conversion to activated biochar, and its potential use in uranium (U) removal from aqueous solutions. Batch adsorption experiments showed a much higher uranyl ions (U(VI)) removal efficiency of activated biochar compared to untreated biochar. As a result of activation, an increase in removal efficiency from 80.5% (untreated biochar) to 99.2% (after activation) was observed for a 5 mg L-1 initial U(VI) concentration solution adjusted to pH 3 using a 10 g L-1 adsorbent dosage. The BET surface area increased from 0.83 to 643 m2 g-1 with activation. Surface topography of the activated biochar showed a very characteristic morphology with high porosity. Activation significantly affected chemical surface of the biochar. FTIR analysis indicated that U(VI) was removed by physisorption from the aqueous solution. The adsorbed U(VI) was detected by micro X-ray fluorescence technique. Adsorption isotherms were employed to represent the results of the U adsorption onto the activated biochar. An estimation of the best fit was performed by calculating different deviation equations, also called error functions. The Redlich-Peterson isotherm model was the most appropriate for fitting the experimental data, suggesting heterogeneity of adsorption sites with different affinities for uranium setting up as a hybrid adsorption. These results demonstrated that physical activation significantly increases the adsorption capacity of macauba endocarp-derived biochar for uranium in aqueous solutions, and therefore open up a potential new application for this type of waste-derived biochar.

Abstract
Wood porosity is of great interest for basic research and applications. One aspect is the cell wall porosity at total dry state. When water is absorbed by wood, the uptake of water within the cell wall leads to a dimension change of the material. A hypothesis for possible structures that hold the water is induced cell wall porosity. Nitrogen and krypton physisorption as well as high pressure hydrogen sorption and thermoporosimetry were applied to softwood and hardwood (pine and beech) in dry and wet state for determining surface area and porosity. Physisorption is not able to detect pores or surface area within the cell wall. Krypton physisorption shows surface area up 5 times lower than nitrogen with higher accuracy. With high pressure sorption no inaccessible pore volumes were seen at higher pressures. Thermoporosimetry was not able to detect mesopores within the hygroscopic water sorption region. Physisorption has to be handled carefully regarding the differences between adsorptives. The absence of water-induced mesopores within the hygroscopic region raise doubts on existing water sorption theories that assume these pore dimensions. When using the term “cell wall porosity”, it is important to distinguish between pores on the cell wall surface and pores that exist because of biological structure, as there are no water-induced mesopores present. The finding offers the possibility to renew wood-water-sorption theories because based on the presented results transport of water in the cell wall must be realized by structures lower than two 2 nm. Nanoporous structures in wood at wet state should be investigated more intensively in future.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide adsorption on micro- and mesoporous carbonaceous materials in a wide range of temperatures and pressures is of great importance for the problems of gas separations, greenhouse gas capture and sequestration, enhanced hydrocarbon recovery from shales and coals, as well as for the characterization of nanoporous materials using CO2 as a molecular probe. We investigate the influence of temperature on CO2 adsorption focusing on the capillary condensation and hysteresis phenomena. We present experimental data on the adsorption of CO2 on CMK-3, ordered carbon with mesopores of ∼5-6 nm, at various temperatures (185-273 K) and pressures (up to 35 bars). Using Monte Carlo (MC) simulations in the grand canonical and mesocanonical ensembles, we attempt to predict the transition from reversible capillary condensation to hysteretic adsorption-desorption cycles that is experimentally observed with the decrease of temperature. We show that although the desorption at all temperatures occurs at the conditions of pore vapor-liquid equilibrium, the capillary condensation is a nucleation-driven process associated with an effective energy barrier of ∼43 kT, specific to the sample used in this work. This barrier can be overcome at the equilibrium conditions in the region of reversible condensation at temperatures higher than 240 K. At lower temperatures, the regime of developing hysteresis is observed with progressively widening hysteresis loops. The position of capillary condensation transition is estimated using the pressure dependence of the energy barrier calculated by the thermodynamic integration of the van der Waals-type continuous canonical isotherm simulated with the gauge cell MC method. These findings lay the foundation for developing kernels of CO2 adsorption and desorption isotherm for calculating the pore size distribution in the entire range of micropore and mesopore sizes from one high-pressure experimental isotherm.

Abstract
Nanodiamond aggregates have interparticle pores of 4.5 nm on average, exhibiting porous nature involved in their water storage. This work studies the hygroscopic nature of porous nanodiamond aggregates by water absorption based on liquid water droplets. Nanodiamond aggregates show hydrophobicity from the water vapor adsorption. Surprisingly, porous nanodiamond aggregates quickly absorb water droplets at the bulk scale. The volume of absorbed liquid water is comparable to that of the water-absorbing clay Montmorillonite and higher than those of zeolites ZSM-5 and molecular sieve 5A. This hygroscopic nature of nanodiamonds is ascribed to the micro- and mesoporous structure of their aggregates and the special core-shell structure of each nanodiamond particle (wrapped by graphene-like carbon). The absorption rate of liquid water in the porous nanodiamonds is influenced by the surface wettability, while the hygroscopic capacity depends mainly on the hierarchical porosity.

Abstract
Bioactive peptides, such as isoleucyl-tryptophan (IW), exhibit a high potential to inhibit the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). Adsorption on carbon materials provides a beneficial method to extract these specific molecules from the complex mixture of an α-lactalbumin hydrolysate. This study focuses on the impact of nitrogen functionalization of porous carbon adsorbents, either via pre- or post-treatment, on the adsorption behavior of the ACE-inhibiting peptide IW and the essential amino acid tryptophan (W). The commercially activated carbon Norit ROX 0.8 is compared with pre- and postsynthetically functionalized N-doped carbon in terms of surface area, pore size, and surface functionality. For prefunctionalization, a covalent triazine framework was synthesized by trimerization of an aromatic nitrile under ionothermal conditions. For the postsynthetic approach, the activated carbon ROX 0.8 was functionalized with the nitrogen-rich molecule melamine. The batch adsorption results using model mixtures containing the single components IW and W could be transferred to a more complex mixture of an α-lactalbumin hydrolysate containing a huge number of various peptides. For this purpose, reverse-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection was used for identification and quantification. The treatment with the three different carbon materials leads to an increase in the ACE-inhibiting effect in vitro. The modified surface structure of the carbon via pre- or post-treatment allows separation of IW and W due to the certain selectivity for either the amino acid or the dipeptide.

Abstract
Nitrogen-doped carbons were synthesized by a solvent-free mechanochemically induced one-pot synthesis by using renewable biomass waste. Three solid materials are used: sawdust as a carbon source, urea and/or melamine as a nitrogen source, and potassium carbonate as an activation agent. The resulting nitrogen-doped porous carbons offer a very high specific surface area of up to 3000 m2 g-1 and a large pore volume up to 2 cm3 g-1 . Also, a high nitrogen content of 4 wt % (urea only) up to 12 wt % (melamine only) is generated, depending on the nitrogen and carbon sources. The mechanochemical reaction and the impact of different wood components on the porosity and surface functionalities are investigated by nitrogen physisorption and high-resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). These N-doped carbons are highly suitable as cathode materials for Li-S batteries, showing high initial discharge capacities of up to 1300 mAh gsulfur -1 (95 % coulombic efficiency) and >75 % capacity retention within the first 50 cycles at low electrolyte volume.

Abstract
We developed an upcycling process of polyurethane obtaining porous nitrogen-doped carbon materials that were applied in supercapacitor electrodes. In detail, a mechanochemical solvent-free one-pot synthesis is used and combined with a thermal treatment. Polyurethane is an ideal precursor already containing nitrogen in its backbone, yielding nitrogen-doped porous carbon materials with N content values of 1-8 wt %, high specific surface area values of up to 2150 m2·g-1 (at a N content of 1.6 wt %) and large pore volume values of up to 0.9 cm3·g-1. The materials were tested as electrodes for supercapacitors in aqueous 1 M Li2SO4 electrolyte (100 F·g-1), organic 1 M TEA-BF4 (ACN, 83 F·g-1) and EMIM-BF4 (70 F·g-1).

Abstract
Water harvesting from air in passive, adsorption-based devices holds great potential for delivering drinking water to arid regions of the world. This technology requires adsorbents that can be tailored for a maximum working capacity, temperature response, and the relative pressure range in which reversible adsorption occurs. In this respect, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising, owing to their structural diversity and the precision of their functionalization for adjusting both pore size and hydrophilicity, thereby facilitating the rational design of their water-sorption characteristics. Here, chemical and structural factors crucial for the design of hydrolytically stable MOFs for water adsorption are discussed. Prevalent water adsorption mechanisms in micro- and mesoporous MOFs alongside strategies for fine-tuning of their adsorption behavior by means of reticular chemistry are presented. Finally, an approach for the selection of promising MOFs with respect to water harvesting from air is proposed and design concepts for next-generation MOFs for application in passive adsorption-based water-harvesting devices are outlined.

Abstract
The adsorption and desorption of D2O on hydrophobic activated carbon fiber (ACF) occurs at a smaller pressure than the adsorption and desorption of H2O. The behavior of the critical desorption pressure difference between D2O and H2O in the pressure range of 1.25-1.80kPa is applied to separate low concentrated D2O from water using the hydrophobic ACF, because the desorption branches of D2O and H2O drop almost vertically. The deuterium concentration of all desorbed water in the above pressure range is lower than that of water without adsorption-treatment on ACF. The single adsorption-desorption procedure on ACF at 1.66kPa corresponding to the maximum difference of adsorption amount between D2O and H2O reduced the deuterium concentration of desorbed water to 130.6ppm from 143.0ppm. Thus, the adsorption-desorption procedure of water on ACF is a promising separation and concentration method of low concentrated D2O from water.

Abstract
Water adsorption on carbonaceous materials has been studied increasingly in the recent years, not only because of its impact on many industrial processes, but also motivated by a desire to understand, at a fundamental level, the distinctive character of directional interactions between water molecules, and between water molecules and other polar groups, such as the functional groups (FGs) at the surfaces of graphene layers. This paper presents an extensive review of recent experimental and theoretical work on water adsorption on various carbonaceous materials, with the aim of gaining a better understanding of how water adsorption in carbonaceous materials relates to the concentration of FGs, their topology (arrangement of the groups) and the structure of the confined space in porous carbons. Arising from this review we are able to propose mechanisms for water adsorption in carbonaceous materials as the adsorbate density increases. The intricate interplay between the roles of FGs and confinement makes adsorption of water on carbon materials very different from that of other simple molecules.

Abstract
Fluids confined in mesoporous solids exhibit a wide range of physical behavior including rich phase equilibria. While a notable progress in their understanding has been achieved for fluids in materials with geometrically ordered pore systems, mesoporous solids with complex pore geometries still remain a topic of active research. In this work we study phase transitions occurring in statistically disordered linear chains of pores with different pore sizes. By considering, quite generally, two phase change mechanisms, nucleation and phase growth, occurring simultaneously we obtain the boundary transitions and the scanning curves resulting upon reversing the sign of the evolution of the chemical potential at different points along the main transition branches. The results obtained are found to reproduces the key experimental observations, including the emergence of hysteresis and the scanning behavior. By deriving the serial pore model isotherm we suggest a robust framework for reliable structural analysis of disordered mesoporous solids.

Abstract
Nitrogen-doped nanoporous carbons were synthesized by a solvent-free mechanochemically induced one-pot synthesis. This facile approach involves the mechanochemical treatment and carbonization of three solid materials: potassium carbonate, urea, and lignin, which is a waste product from pulp industry. The resulting nitrogen-doped porous carbons offer a very high specific surface area up to 3000 m2 g-1 and large pore volume up to 2 cm3 g-1 . The mechanochemical reaction and the impact of activation and functionalization are investigated by nitrogen and water physisorption and high-resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Our N-doped carbons are highly suitable for electrochemical energy storage as supercapacitor electrodes, showing high specific capacitances in aqueous 1 m Li2 SO4 electrolyte (177 F g-1 ), organic 1 m tetraethylammonium tetrafluoroborate in acetonitrile (147 F g-1 ), and an ionic liquid (1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate; 192 F g-1 ). This new mechanochemical pathway synergistically combines attractive energy-storage ratings with a scalable, time-efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally favorable synthesis.

Abstract
AbstractHigh-resolution water sorption isotherms were measured on 13 representative mudrock samples in order to assess the mechanisms of water vapour sorption and their relationship to the pore structure of mudrocks. The isotherm measurements were performed at 303 K on a gravimetric, dynamic vapour sorption device. Experimental data were interpreted by traditional physisorption models for which the validity was evaluated by relating model parameters to those obtained from nitrogen physisorption measurements. No direct relationships with the pore structure were observed, except for the Gurvich total pore volumes and the corresponding porosity data. Specific surface areas from Brunauer–Emmett–Teller theory are ambiguous and do not relate to nitrogen data, suggesting that water molecules do not adsorb as (multi-) layers covering pore walls. The volume filling theory (Dubinin–Astakhov equation) fits the water sorption data well but no relationship to the nitrogen data was observed in the studied sample set. A lower affinity of water for micropores was evident from the higher filling pressures of N2-based micropore volumes. The Barret–Joyner–Hallenda theory combined with N2 physisorption measurements on moist mudrocks revealed that capillary condensation prevails close to saturation but not below about 0.94 relative pressure (p/p0). A distinct low-pressure hysteresis was observed from hysteresis scanning that was attributed to surface chemistry since capillary condensation occurs only at very high relative pressures. Analysis of mineralogical composition, total organic content (TOC) and organic maturity in relation to water sorption revealed only a weak correlation with the total clay content. In contrast, cation-exchange capacity (CEC) strongly correlates with water uptake, which evidences a surface-chemistry-controlled sorption mechanism. Tests of the influence of the exchangeable cation were inconclusive because pore system alteration due to cation-exchange probably superimposed the effect. To further assess the sorption mechanisms of water, nitrogen physisorption isotherms were measured on moisture-equilibrated mudrocks (11, 52, 75, 94% relative humidity at 298 K). Micropore analysis and cumulative pore-size distributions denote that water blocks pore throats rather than fills pore volumes at lower relative humidities. Over the entire humidity range, no direct relationship between water sorption and pore size was observed. These findings imply that water adsorption does not sequentially fill pores with increasing radii in mudrocks as relative humidity increases, as would be expected from water sorption by capillary condensation. This conclusion has important implications for the interpretation and measurement of geomechanical and petrophysical properties of mudrocks. Capillary pressures, particularly at low water saturations, are often calculated from water saturation using a concept based on the Kelvin equation for capillary condensation. Since water sorption in mudrocks seems to be controlled by surface chemistry rather than pore size, this approach is questionable. The observations reported here suggest that the water distribution in mudrock pore systems resulting from vapour equilibration differs from that obtained by fluid displacement (i.e. capillary drainage or imbibitions). A further consequence is that water vapour equilibration is a convenient, but not necessarily representative, method to obtain partially water-saturated mudrock samples for laboratory measurement of saturation-dependent geomechanical or petrophysical properties.

Abstract
New functional mesoporous carbon sorbents were successfully synthesized to overcome some issues of solid-liquid extraction (e.g., selectivity, extraction capacity, and reusability under acidic conditions) in production of pure lanthanides (Ln). Wet-oxidation technique was performed to increase the surface reactivity of pristine ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC), and, in a second step, a surface modification using diglycolamide-based (DGA-based) selective ligands toward Ln was performed. Two types of ligands were tested: the first contains a long spacer (e.g., between carbon support and chelating function), and the second has a shorter one. These materials have been characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), low-angle X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis, nitrogen sorption, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). These analyses confirmed that the carbon mesostructure was maintained after organo-functionalization of the surface and showed the covalent attachment of selective ligands. These new materials, and especially the system with a short spacer between the ligand and the surface, reveal unique Ln selectivity profiles with improved extraction performances for the recovery of lanthanides, in terms of both selectivity and adsorption capacity, and unprecedented stability under acidic conditions.

Abstract
The analysis of sulfur distribution in porous carbon/sulfur nanocomposites using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) is presented. Ordered porous CMK-8 carbon was used as the host matrix and gradually filled with sulfur (20-50 wt %) via melt impregnation. Owing to the almost complete match between the electron densities of carbon and sulfur, the porous nanocomposites present in essence a two-phase system and the filling of the host material can be precisely followed by this method. The absolute scattering intensities normalized per unit of mass were corrected accounting for the scattering contribution of the turbostratic microstructure of carbon and amorphous sulfur. The analysis using the Porod parameter and the chord-length distribution (CLD) approach determined the specific surface areas and filling mechanism of the nanocomposite materials, respectively. Thus, SAXS provides comprehensive characterization of the sulfur distribution in porous carbon and valuable information for a deeper understanding of cathode materials of lithium-sulfur batteries.

Adsorption-induced deformation of a monolithic, synthetic carbon of clearly distinguishable micro- and mesoporosity was analyzed by in situ dilatometry with N2 (77 K), Ar (77 K), CO2 (273 K), and H2O (298 K). A characteristic nonmonotonic shape of the strain isotherm showing contraction of the sample at initial micropore adsorption followed by expansion toward completion of micropore filling was found for all adsorbates. However, the extent of contraction and expansion varied significantly with the adsorbate type. The deformation differences observed were compared with the density ratio of the adsorbates within the micropores and the respective unconfined fluids. In particular, CO2 caused the least contraction of the sample, while in parallel adsorbed CO2 molecules were predicted to be considerably compacted inside carbon micropores compared to bulk liquid CO2. On the contrary, the packing of H2O molecules within carbon micropores is less dense than in the bulk liquid and adsorption of H2O produced the most pronounced contraction. N2 and Ar, both exhibiting essentially the same densities in adsorbed and bulk liquid phase, induced very similar deformation of the sample. These findings support theoretical predictions, which correlate adsorption-induced deformation and packing of molecules adsorbed in micropores. Additionally for the first time, we demonstrated with the N2 strain isotherm the existence of two nonmonotonic stages of subsequent contraction and expansion in the regions of micropore and mesopore filling. This characteristic behavior is expected for any micro- and mesoporous material.
