BET surface area (), surface area of micropores () and surface area of meso-/macropores () determined with the t-plot method.
The percentage data denotes the percentage of surface area of micropores or meso- and macropores relative to the total surface area.
Total pores volume (), micro volume () determined with the t-plot method. The percentage data denote the percentage of pore volume of micropores relative to the total pore volume.
Average meso-/macropores size () determined from the N2 desorption data with NLDET model.
