Experimental study on methane hydrate formation in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate under the influence of different physical properties of silica and composite systems

Abstract Natural gas hydrates naturally occur in pores of porous media. This study presents the first systematic investigation of methane hydrate formation in sub‐millimetre silica particles (0.4 and 0.7 mm) and larger sizes (1, 2, and 3 mm) as benchmarks. The combined matrix (0....

The effects of CeFe2 phase distribution and magnetic transition on the magnetic behavior of hot-deformed Ce16Fe76Cu2B6 magnet

Tailoring the high-melting-point CeFe2 phase is an effective strategy for optimizing the magnetic performance of Ce–Fe–B permanent magnets. Further property enhancement can also be achieved by modifying the distribution, morphology, and magnetic state of the grain-boundary phases...

Control of ice thickness in cryo-EM via confinement

Achieving thin ice with optimal thickness is a prerequisite for successful cryo-EM analysis of embedded macromolecules. Despite decades of effort, precise control of ice thickness in cryo-EM remains a major challenge. Here we reveal that the intrinsic instability of sub-100-nm li...

Enhanced Detection of Electrolyte Microleaks by Reduced-Pressure Ion Mobility Spectrometry

Abstract Electrolyte leakage is an early indicator of sealing failure and a potential safety risk in lithium-ion batteries, but vapor release from microscopic defects remains difficult to detect because the amount of analyte released is small, transport to the detector is ineffic...

Edge-Affinity-Directed Selective Pore-Mouth Sealing in Coal-Derived Hard Carbon for Stable and High-Capacity Sodium Storage

Abstract Sodium-ion batteries are attractive for large-scale energy storage, but the limited capacity of hard-carbon anodes constrains practical energy density. Increasing porosity can boost capacity, but typically enlarges the electrolyte-accessible surface, lowers the initial C...
