Abstract
The micropore filling of supercritical N2 on micrographitic carbon fibers having slit‐shaped micropores of different micropore widths from 0.7 to 1.4 nm was examined at 303 K under the high pressure of N2 up to 10 MPa. Supercritical N2 in the micropore was presumed to be transformed into quasivapor by strong micropore field; the Dubinin–Radushkevich equation for a vapor was extended to the quasivapor in the micropore. The determination method of the saturated vapor pressure Psq of the quasi‐N2 vapor in the micropore was proposed and was applied to the experimental results on N2/micrographitic carbon fiber systems; the determined Psq increases with the micropore width. The relationship between the extent of micropore filling of a supercritical gas through the quasivapor state and the interaction energy between a molecule and two parallel micrographites from the Lennard‐Jones potential was theoretically derived, which was evidenced by the simple experimental relationship between the amount of high pressure N2 adsorption at 303 K and the micropore width.Keywords
