  1. *SBET is the BET-specific surface area.
  2. †Smeso is the specific mesopore surface area estimated by subtracting Smicro, the t-plot-specific micropore surface area calculated from the N2 adsorption–desorption isotherm from SBET.
  3. ‡Vt is the total specific pore volume determined by using the adsorption branch of the N2 isotherm at P/P0=0.99.
  4. §Vmeso is the specific mesopore volume obtained from the BJH cumulative specific adsorption volume.
  5. ||The mesopore diameter is estimated from the local maximum of BJH pore size distribution obtained in the desorption branch of N2 isotherm.
