Delocalized Electronic Buffering at Pd/High-Entropy Oxide Interfaces Enables Water-Tolerant Methane Oxidation

Abstract Developing Pd-based catalysts for methane oxidation that combine low-temperature activity with strong water tolerance remains a major challenge for emission control applications. Herein, we introduce a high-entropy architecture into Co3O4-based spinel supports to regulat...

Green Hydrogen Production Technologies and Feedstock Limitations: A Concise Review

Abstract Nowadays, intensive research is directed to green hydrogen production as an alternative to the depleting fossil fuel resources. Shifting from conventional hydrogen production routes, which rely on hydrocarbon reforming, toward cleaner and more sustainable pathways is a p...

Interfacial Tensions of Extended Surfactant Solutions: Effect of Alkane Chain Length on the Size of Propylene Oxide Groups

Abstract To explore the mechanism for lowering interfacial tension by extended surfactants, the interfacial tension values of extended surfactants (S–C13POnS and G-C16POnS) were measured using the spinning drop method. Additionally, molecular dynamics simulation was employed to v...

Mechanisms and Parameter Optimization of Pre-Fracturing Energy Enhancement in Ultra-Low-Permeability Tight Oil Reservoirs

Ultra-low-permeability tight oil reservoirs, including the Chang 6 and Chang 8 formations in the Changqing Oilfield and the Fuyu reservoir in the peripheral Daqing Oilfield, are characterized by poor reservoir properties and limited waterflooding efficiency. Conventional areal wa...
