Title: Efficient adsorption of super greenhouse gas (Tetrafluoromethane) in carbon nanotubes
Abstract: Light membranes composed of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) can as efficient nanoscale vessels for encapsulation of at 300 K and operating external pressure of 1 bar. We grand canonical Monte Carlo simulation for modeling of CF4 at 300 K and pressures up to 2 bar. We find that the of adsorbed CF4 strongly depends on the pore size in nanotubes; 1 bar the most efficient nanotubes for volumetric storage have size R
