An explicit dual-site BET isotherm model for the prediction of nonideal competitive and cooperative adsorption equilibrium
A dual-site extension is proposed to the previously derived ideal adsorbed solution theory analytical solution for two coadsorbing single-site BET isotherms. The proposed dual-site BET (DSBET) isother...

Do you have a CO2 isotherm fitted to a single- or dual-site Langmuir isotherm and a H2O isotherm fitted to a BET or GAB isotherm? Then you may find the coadsorption model from our newest preprint useful! We explored the use of BET extended isotherm models for CCS separations: doi.org/10.26434/che...

World’s most porous sponges: intricate carbon-trapping powders hit the market
Metal-organic frameworks were the next big thing in chemistry when they were invented more than three decades ago. Now, these intriguing materials are becoming commercial tools for capturing carbon dioxide and harvesting water from the air.
