Description

Sorbent materials are candidates for many industrial and sustainable development applications, including carbon capture, hydrogen and methane storage, gas separation and purification, and catalysis. However, reliable and reproducible sorption measurements are challenging to obtain due to variations in sample preparation and/or measurement protocols and can hinder progress in materials innovation.

The NIST Facility for Adsorbent Characterization and Testing (FACT Lab) is equipped with a range of instruments, including manometric measurements of adsorption, gravimetric measurements of adsorption, measurements of mixed-gas adsorption, and the measurement of related physicochemical properties of porous materials. The FACT Lab seeks to improve the adsorption sciences by providing reference data using reference materials for the purposes of evaluating and benchmarking adsorption instrument performance and comparison of properties of nanoporous materials. The FACT Lab is also interested in studying the adsorption properties of adsorbents for materials innovation for various applications. More about the FACT Lab can be found at Facility for Adsorbent Characterization and Testing | NIST
