Abstract

The adsorption of sulfur dioxide (SO\(_{2}\)), nitrogen (N\(_{2}\)) and mixtures of both on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene was studied by molecular dynamic simulation. Experimental results from gravimetric adsorption of SO\(_{2}\) and N\(_{2}\) on CNTs are compared to simulated data. CNTs with a rigid and a flexible model and the diameters 1.48 and 2.69 nm were simulated. For graphene, SO\(_{2}\) and N\(_{2}\) rigid models were applied. Besides the CNT diameters, different system temperatures, compositions of SO\(_{2}\)/N\(_{2}\) mixtures were considered for selected cases of CNTs and graphene. By examining the local SO\(_{2}\) and N\(_{2}\) densities on the CNTs and graphene, adsorption could be observed. SO\(_{2}\) shows an enhanced adsorption compared to N\(_{2}\) on both CNTs and graphene. By varying the starting configurations of the simulation, different system pressures could be achieved, which allowed the determination of adsorption isotherms at different temperatures.

For the sake of simplicity SWCNTs are often simply named CNTs in this paper.

In the very beginning of the simulation a significant drop in density in the compartments inside the tube can be seen. This is due to the way the SO\(_{2}\) lattice was set up. At the beginning a liquid-like SO\(_{2}\) bulk was placed there. This was done as mentioned to keep the system size to reasonable values and to apply enough SO\(_{2}\) molecules for adsorption.
