▎ 摘　　要

Adsorption of water vapor on graphene nanosheets (GNS) derived by vacuum-promoted low-temperature exfoliation method was investigated using a volumetric system. The pristine and thermally modified GNS were characterized with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) analysis and nitrogen adsorption-desorption. The results show that the absorbed amount of water vapor against the pristine GNS can reach 249 cm(3)/g at 20 degrees C, and the capability of water vapor adsorption was weakened by heat treatment at 500 degrees C and 700 degrees C, the isosteric heat of water vapor adsorption against GNS is 42.6 kJ/mol based on the adsorption isotherms at 10 degrees C and 30 degrees C.
