Abstract:

The impacts of particle size and temperature on the adsorption kinetics and thermodynamics of nanomaterials were investigated by using single faceted cubic Cu2O(100) with different particle sizes as model materials. Based on previously reported theory of adsorption thermodynamics and kinetics of nanomaterials, the relationships between the particle size of the cubic Cu2O nanoparticles and their adsorption thermodynamics and kinetics were derived. The experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretical predictions. With the decrease of the size of the cubic Cu2O(100) nanoparticles, the following characteristics were observed: (1) the adsorption rate constant increased, while the adsorption activation energy and the adsorption pre-exponential factors decreased; (2) the standard molar Gibbs free energy of adsorption(ΔaG 0— m) decreased, while the standard equilibrium constant(lnK 0—), the standard molar enthalpy of adsorption(ΔaH 0— m), and the standard molar entropy of adsorption(ΔaS 0— m) increased. The thermodynamic properties and kinetic parameters above have a good linear relationship with the reciprocal of particle size.
