A garnet-type solid-state electrolyte Li6.4La3Zr1.4Ta0.6O12 (LLZTO) was modified using dopamine to improve the wettability of LLZTO with PEO, allowing 80 wt% LLZTO to be uniformly dispersed in 20 wt% PEO/LiTFSI polymer electrolyte.
Redox activity has been considered the descriptor of the catalytic performance of transition-metal oxides with the crystal family of ABO 3 perovskites. Although elemental doping is an efficient way to promote their activity for water splitting, most research has been centered only on the influence of doping A/B sites. This work demonstrates that F-anion substitution can make the O p band closer to the Femi level and activate the lattice O forming mobile O*. These features help regulate the lattice O sites in perovskites and thus promote the activity of perovskite oxides for water-splitting reactions.
Shale/tight gas plays an increasingly
important role to meet the
growing global energy demand and reduce carbon emissions. Unlike conventional
reservoirs, shale formations are subject to rock heterogeneity and
have pore size distributions ranging from sub-1 nm to a few micrometers.
Thanks to the large number of nanosized pores, adsorbed methane capacity
plays a dominant role in total shale gas-in-place. Methane adsorption
behaviors can vary drastically in micropores and mesopores, and rock
surface type may also greatly affect its adsorption. In this review,
we provide a systematic discussion on measurements of shale rock properties
including rock compositions and pore structures such as specific surface
area (SSA) and pore size distribution (PSD), which are important parameters
for methane adsorption in shale nanoporous media. We also provide
in-depth discussions on experimental measurements on methane (excess)
adsorption in shale nanoporous media, methane adsorption behavior
characterization based on molecular simulations, and various excess-adsorption-to-absolute-adsorption
conversion methods. We pay particular attention to the assumptions
and working mechanisms proposed in various interpretation methods
which are embedded in pore structures (SSA and PSD) and absolute adsorption
characterizations. In the end, we summarize the key challenges in
the methane adsorption characterization in shale media.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
