We have developed a measurement technique and describe a test bench for experimental gravimetric study of the adsorption of energy-carrier gases at pressures of up to 0.15 MPa and temperatures of 77–670 K on CNT/C7H8 supramolecular structures based on carbon nanotubes and toluene molecules. We show that at pressure 0.1 MPa and temperatures of 273 and 178 K adsorption of methane is approximately 1.5 times higher on CNT/C7H8 structures than on pure carbon nanotubes.
