^aBET (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller) surface area
^bThe micropore surface area S _Micro and micropore volume V _Micro were calculated from the t plot method
^cThe mesopore surface area (S _Meso) and mesopore volume (V _meso) were calculated from the BJH (Barrett-Joyner-Halenda) method
^dTotal pore volume, measured at P/P ₀ = 0.99
^eAverage pore size, calculated by 4 V _Total/S _BET
