We have used molecular dynamics simulation to study the influence of disclination angle on helium adsorption capacity of carbon nanocones (CNCs). Adsorption capacities of 180°, 240° and 300° CNCs have been compared at various temperatures. The results indicate that helium atoms adsorb on internal and external surfaces of the CNCs. At saturation conditions, the endohedral adsorption coverage is decreased by increasing the disclination angle, while the exohedral adsorption coverage is independent of this angle. It is also found that temperature has a considerable effect on the adsorbed amount. Comparison of the adsorption on CNCs with carbon nanotubes indicates that the adsorption capacity of cones is greater than those of tubes. Our results confirm the fact that the CNCs are good candidate for gas storage.
