“…Consequently, the V Total,0.95 values do not dramatically change before and after water adsorption. Analysis using high-resolution α s -plot, pre-adsorption, and fractal techniques on N 2 adsorption in our previous results suggested that microporosity and mesoporosity of the carbon-silica composites synthesized by the ordinary method come from the interstitial spaces between aggregates of small silica particles and those between carbon nanosheets and silica particles, respectively [16,24]. Accordingly, we can conclude from the above discussion that more silica particles with smaller sizes can be formed between carbon layers when the n value for the synthesis increases from 1 to 6 and 22, enhancing the amount of micropores.…”
