Influence of supercritical CO2-water soaking on fracture toughness of shale: Implications for shale gas recovery and CO2 sequestration

The fracture toughness of shale influences fracture network formation and CO 2 storage stability in shale reservoirs. To investigate this effect, semi-circular bending (SCB) tests and measurements of surface energy, fracture surface roughness, and mineral compositions were conduc...

Thermodynamic Control of MnO 2 /Mn 2+ Redox Chemistry in Aqueous Batteries

ABSTRACT The MnO 2 /Mn 2+ redox chemistry is attractive for energy‐dense aqueous batteries, offering high theoretical capacity and favorable redox potential. However, the practical reversibility of this chemistry is severely limited by competing reaction pathways, including Mn 3+...
