CO2 solubility in brine in silica nanopores in relation to geological CO2 sequestration in tight formations: Effect of salinity and pH
Download2021-05-01
Li, Wenhui, Nan, Yiling, You, Qing, Jin, Zhehui
Geological CO2 sequestration during CO2 enhanced oil recovery in tight formations is a technically and economically viable option to alleviate carbon emission. In tight formations, there existsare enormous number of nano-scale pores, which can be filled with connate and injected water. In...

Electrolyte Structure of Lithium Polysulfides with Anti‐Reductive Solvent Shells for Practical Lithium–Sulfur Batteries
Download2021-04-29
Zhang, Xueqiang, Jin, Qi, Nan, Yiling, Hou, Lipeng, Li, Boquan, Chen, Xiang, Jin, Zhehui, Zhang, Xitian, Huang, Jiaqi, Zhang, Qiang
The lithium–sulfur (Li–S) battery is regarded as a promising secondary battery. However, constant parasitic reactions between the Li anode and soluble polysulfide (PS) intermediates significantly deteriorate the working Li anode. The rational design to inhibit the parasitic reactions is plagued...

Molecular Dynamics Study on CO2 Storage in Water-Filled Kerogen Nanopores in Shale Reservoirs: Effects of Kerogen Maturity and Pore Size
Download2020-12-21
Li, Wenhui, Zhang, Mingshan, Nan, Yiling, Pang, Wanying, Jin, Zhehui
CO2 sequestration in shale reservoirs is an economically viable option to alleviate carbon emission. Kerogen, a major component in the organic matter in shale, is associated with a large number of nanopores, which might be filled with water. However, the CO2 storage mechanism and capacity in...

Understanding the Role of Amphiphilic Chemical Additives in Enhanced Oil Recovery from Molecular Perspectives
DownloadFall 2022
Carefully designed chemical formulas are often applied in the enhanced oil recovery (EOR) process. Understanding the molecular distribution and working mechanism of each component can provide theoretical guidance in designing chemical formulas with desired functionalities. In this dissertation,...
