This book chapter will review the growing body of literature reporting on how gases interact with carbon nanotubes. The chapter will include both experimental and computational results. Issues related to the energetics, mechanism, geometry, and nature of adsorption sites in CNTs will be highlighted. An excellent review by Migone and Talaptra has detailed a large body of experimental results for the physisorption of gases on CNTs [1]. The current review chapter will not duplicate their efforts, but instead will focus on topics not included in their work: trapped molecules, molecular transport, chemisorption, and new physisorption results of significance. Research papers related to hydrogen adsorption and storage have been omitted from this chapter since there are several reviews already published on this topic.
