TLDR
In this paper, coal and pitch-derived carbonaceous materials were activated for 5h at 800°C using potassium hydroxide and 1:4 component ratio, and the porosity development of the resultant activated carbons was assessed by N2 sorption at 77 K and their capability of the charge accumulation in electric double layer was determined using galvanostatic, voltammetric and impedance spectroscopy techniques.

Physical Adsorption on Non‐Uniform Surfaces

TL;DR: In this article, a quasi-chemical theory of interaction (BET) was used to analyze adsorption on a uniform surface and showed that the hypotheses of the BET theory lead to substantially no adorption beyond the first layer if E2 = EL, and stepwise isotherms if E1>E2>E3>···>EL.
