Evidence of Gate-Opening on Xenon Adsorption on ZIF-8: An Adsorption and Computer Simulation Study

We report on experimental (thermodynamics and kinetics) and computer simulation results for Xe sorption in ZIF-8. At temperatures below ∼145 K, there are two substeps present in adsorption isotherms (before saturation is reached). The substep that occurs at higher loadings was identified as correspo...
