Mass diffusivity influences adsorption rate, and adsorption isotherm determines capacity of a porous adsorbent material in adsorption of an adsorbate gas.
“The mass diffusivity influences the adsorption rate, and the adsorption isotherm determines the capacity of a porous adsorbent material in the adsorption of an adsorbate gas [90].”
From Silica Aerogels as a Promising Vehicle for Effective Water Splitting for Hydrogen Production (2025) · cites this paper as [90]
Silica-aerogel-based adsorbents have a lower temperature of regeneration and better adsorption capacity than other commercial desiccants including activated carbon.
“These investigations demonstrate that the former has a lower temperature of regeneration and a better adsorption capacity.”

“Because of the larger surfaces area to volume ratio, a relatively large quantity of silica aerogel can be deployed as a thin coating on the foam, and the higher thermal conductivity of the foam assists in removing the heat of adsorption and can provide heat for desorption (Nawaz et al. 2014a).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
