Abstract

The MB-spot test is extensively applied to specific surface area measurement due to its simplicity compared to the classical BET test. However, the MB-spot test is vulnerable to multiple factors, preventing this newly-prevalent technique from accurately characterising the specific surface area. The inaccuracy of the MB-spot test is discussed here at length, which is urgently needed to avoid mistakes and inconsistencies regarding specific surface area characterization for carbon-based materials.
