When the derivative of spreading pressure with respect to adsorbed volume is obtained for the adsorption isotherms of nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide on ZnO between 75.6 and 208.8 K, a maximum is found for the capacity of the monolayer.

Experimental and simulation studies for carbon dioxide (CO2) adsorption on porous silica glass were performed to reveal how surface heterogeneity can affect the adsorption mechanism of CO2. In performing the simulation, the structure of porous silica glass was modeled as a slit pore consisting of parallel walls of connected SiO4 units. The adsorption isotherms of CO2 at 283 K were generated for a series of pore widths using a Monte Carlo ensemble. The defective surfaces created by random removal of surface atoms and the surfaces containing hydroxyl functional groups were chosen to represent the surface heterogeneity for the simulation tasks. The isotherms derived for the defective surfaces showed a rapid adsorption at low pressures because of the stronger interaction between the rough nonuniform surfaces and CO2 molecules. For the role of surface functional groups, the adsorption isotherms dramatically increased with an increasing number of functional groups. The amount of CO2 adsorbed for randomly placed functional groups was greater than that for the presence of functional groups at the pore edges. The proper control of surface heterogeneity by manipulating both the amounts of hydroxyl surface groups and surface defects should help enhance the efficient capture of CO2 in porous silica glass.

Adsorption isotherms of nine globular proteins with molecular weight (MW) spanning 10–1000 kDa confirm that interfacial energetics of protein adsorption to a hydrophobic solid/aqueous-buffer (solid–liquid, SL) interface are not fundamentally different than adsorption to the water–air (liquid–vapour, LV) interface. Adsorption dynamics dampen to a steady-state (equilibrium) within a 1 h observation time and protein adsorption appears to be reversible, following expectations of Gibbs' adsorption isotherm. Adsorption isotherms constructed from concentration-dependent advancing contact angles θ a of buffered-protein solutions on methyl-terminated, self-assembled monolayer surfaces show that maximum advancing spreading pressure, , falls within a relatively narrow band characteristic of all proteins studied, mirroring results obtained at the LV surface. Furthermore, Π a isotherms exhibited a ‘Traube-rule-like’ progression in MW similar to the ordering observed at the LV surface wherein molar concentrations required to reach a specified spreading pressure Π a decreased with increasing MW. Finally, neither Gibbs' surface excess quantities [ Γ sl − Γ sv ] nor Γ lv varied significantly with protein MW. The ratio {[ Γ sl − Γ sv ]/ Γ lv }∼1, implying both that Γ sv ∼0 and chemical activity of protein at SL and LV surfaces was identical. These results are collectively interpreted to mean that water controls protein adsorption to hydrophobic surfaces and that the mechanism of protein adsorption can be understood from this perspective for a diverse set of proteins with very different composition.
