gas adsorption techniques

Gas adsorption techniques involve capturing and accumulating gas molecules on the surface of solid materials, typically adsorbents like activated carbon or zeolites. When gas comes into contact with the solid, some molecules adhere to the surface due to forces like van der Waals interactions. These techniques are essential for applications such as air purification, gas storage, and separation processes. Scientists analyze how gases interact with different materials to optimize their use in filters, batteries, and catalysts, ultimately improving efficiency and performance in various technologies and industries.
