“…This irreproducibility has also been shown in interlaboratory studies in which participating laboratories have made isotherm measurements, ostensibly on the same material, yet obtained greatly varied results [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Factors contributing to the irreproducibility can arise anywhere along the multistep procedure leading to the adsorption isotherm data [18][19][20]. These procedures can include material synthesis (starting materials, solvents, conditions, treatment), sample preparation (activation, outgassing, storage, weighing, transfer), the gas adsorption measurements themselves (calibration, sample volume, measurements of temperature, pressure, and mass), data processing (equation of state, buoyancy correction, blank correction), and data reporting (results, experimental details).…”
