Abstract For electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), encapsulating transition metal phosphides (TMPs) into nitrogen‐doped carbon materials has been known as an effective strategy to elevate activity and stability. Yet still, it remains unclear how TMPs work synergistically with N‐doped support, which N configuration (pyridinic N, pyrrolic or graphitic N) contributes predominantly synergy. Here we present a HER electrocatalyst (denoted MoP@NCHSs) comprising MoP...

This study investigated the mechanisms and performance of SiO2 nanofluid for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in low-permeability cores. Three-phase contact angles quartz/oil/brine systems were measured, microscopic imbibition characteristics nanofluids a capillary observed through visualization experiments. In addition, effects adsorption nanoparticles on oil–water relative permeability was studied using core displacement tests. Furthermore, total 11 flooding tests performed, injection...

The utilization of conventional water-soluble surfactants for the stabilization CO2 foams has been limited by low injectability low-permeability reservoirs. In this study, anionic surfactant sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT) was used as CO2-soluble to stabilize in presence ethanol. phase equilibrium relationships AOT/ethanol/CO2 system and partition coefficient AOT between supercritical (SC-CO2) water were measured through a fully visible pressure–volume–temperature (PVT) cell....

Nitrogen foam is a promising enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technique with significant potential for tertiary recovery. This improves the efficiency of displacement during gas drive processes while expanding swept volume. However, in high-temperature, high-salinity reservoirs Tahe Oilfield, conventional N2 systems show suboptimal performance, as their effectiveness heavily limited by temperature and salinity. Consequently, enhancing stability under these harsh conditions crucial unlocking new...

This study investigates the characteristics of wax precipitation activity in condensates. The patterns are elucidated by analyzing composition and amount precipitate produced at various temperatures, verifying influence mechanism factors such as condensate temperature on separation. findings reveal that a decrease enhances contact molecules reducing their thermal motion, leading to particle precipitation. also weakens Brownian motion precipitated wax, further promoting aggregation subsequent...

Abstract It is difficult to regulate the flow and filtration characteristics of water-based drilling fluids(WBDFs) in complex formation conditions such as extreme thermal conditions, elevated pressure environments, hypersaline circumstances. Conventional fluid loss reducer) are mainly linear structure polymers, which have large self-viscosity a great impact on characteristics. In ultra-high temperature circumstances, polymer molecular chains prone conformational changes crosslinking...
