Adsorption properties of hollow carbon spheres to gaseous cyclohexane using DFT simulation and experiments.

The cyclohexane is the common toxic volatiles emitted from the various industry in worldwide leading to environmental degradation and human illnesses. Hence, there is a requirement for an efficient and stable adsorbent for adsorbing these toxic molecules to safeguard human health and the air atmosphere. Hollow carbon spheres (HCS) are a new type of carbon nanomaterial with large specific surface area, low density, and good chemical and thermal stability.
