Van T. Nguyen, D.D. Do and D. Nicholsonin research they studiedAdsorption of water on graphitized carbon black at higher temperature:313,316 and 323 K has been studied with a new molecular model of graphitized carbon black using Monte Carlo simulation. The model is a collection of graphene layers.The results are compared with experimental data reported by Kiselev et al. in 1968 for a range of temperatures. The simulation results show that water adsorbs preferentially around the functional groups to form clusters, which then grow and merge at the edges of the graphene layers, rather than adsorbing onto the basal planes of the graphene because the electrostatic interactions (hydrogen bonding) between water molecules are stronger than the basal plane–water dispersion interactions.
