Abstract
A system and method for high-throughput, high-resolution gas sorption screening are provided. An example system includes a sample chamber with a hermetic seal and a heat exchanger system. The heat exchanger system includes a heat exchanger disposed in the sample chamber, a coolant circulator fluidically coupled to the heat exchanger, and a sample plate comprising sample wells in contact with the cooling fluid from the coolant circulator. The system also includes a gas delivery system. The gas delivery system includes a gas source and a flow regulator. A temperature measurement system is configured to sense the temperature of the sample wells.

- calculating generated heat from the measurements at the first condition and second condition;
- measuring the temperatures of adsorption of the sorbents at a third condition;
- calculating a temperature transient profile from the measurements at the third condition;
- and
- calculating a heat of adsorption from measurements collected at two temperatures;
- and
- calculating an adsorption isotherm from measurements collected at two temperatures.
