[Thermal] Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA)

TGA (Thermal Gravimetric Analysis) generally refers to a combination of gravimetric and mass-spectrometry analysis. As such, it can be used to detect the presence of chemisorbed gases. This is typically negligible on most carbon adsorbents due to van der Waals repulsion, but it can occur in unique geometries like single-walled carbon nanotubes.
