Hot dry rock (HDR) is a kind of clean energy with significant potential. Since the 1970s, United States, Japan, France, Australia, and other countries have attempted to conduct several EGS (Enhanced Geothermal System) projects extract thermal by breaking through key technologies. However, up now, development HDR still in research, development, demonstration stage. An exploration borehole (with 236°C at depth 3705 m) was drilled into Triassic granite Gonghe Basin northwest China 2017....

Water-soluble doped quantum dots have unique photophysical properties and functionalities as optical labels for bioimaging chemo-/biosensing. However, doping in is not easy due to the dopant-ion size mismatch "self-purification" effect. Here, we demonstrate a successful preparation of Mn-, Cu-, Ni-doped CdS with bimetallic clusters instead ions building blocks under mild aqueous conditions up gram scale. The representative Mn-doped uniform size, about 3.2 ± 0.5 nm, emit at 620 nm....

Abstract Gels are used in the oilfield. For example, during oil recovery, organogels pumped underground into fractures within oil‐bearing rock, so as to block fluid flow. However, after several days, gels must be degraded (liquefied) enable extraction through fractures. To degrade gels, ‘degrading agents’ well external stimuli have been examined. Here, a concept is demonstrated that avoids agents and stimuli: self‐degrading based on self‐assembly of molecular gelators. The a) extremely...

Abstract Radiative cooling pigments offer new opportunities for sustainable carbon neutrality as zero‐energy and zero‐pollution functional materials. However, it is a challenge to prepare inorganic yellow simultaneously with environmentally friendly, high color value, weather resistance. In this study, series of alkali metal‐doped γ‐Sm 2 S 3 near‐infrared reflectance were synthesized. The doping metal ions reduced synthesis temperature Sm from 1300°C 1000°C. change in energy band structure...
