Model NLDFT isotherms and density profiles are calculated using Tarazona approach [1, 2]. Attractive fluid-fluid interactions are modeled by Weeks-Chandler-Andersen potential [3]. Pore walls are constructed by structureless graphene sheets. External solid-fluid interaction potential is determined by numerical integration of the 12-6 Lennard-Jones potential over the graphene geometries.

Simple energetically and geometrically heterogeneous carbon infinite slit pore model • The model is derived from the Steele potential where the geometrical • heterogeneity is introduced only to the surface layer. • Objective: • Introduce minimal modifications to Steele potential that are necessary to improve the model. • Carbon pore heterogeneity may be considered a combined effect of: • Chemical composition (surface chemical groups) • Variation of local density • Variations of pore wall thickness • Geometry (curvature, roughness)
