Dynamics of liquid nanofilms [PDF]

, 2008
The van der Waals forces across a very thin liquid layer (nanofilm) in contact with a plane solid wall make the liquid nonhomogeneous. The dynamics of such flat liquid nanofilms is studied in isothermal case.

Energy Consumption of Air-Separation Adsorption Methods

Entropy, 2018
Adsorption technology is currently one of the most popular methods of air separation. At relatively low energy expenditure, this allows oxygen to be obtained with sufficient purity for oxyfuel, metallurgy or medical applications.

Indirect air CO2 capture and refinement based on OTEC seawater outgassing

iScience, 2021
Summary: In this paper, we propose a low-cost method to capture and purify CO2 from ocean water indirectly from the atmosphere. Atmospheric CO2 dissolves in seawater following Henry's law.

Challenges of energy transition in China’s power system and its emission reduction impacts

iScience
Summary: China must accelerate its power system energy transition to meet the 14th and 15th Five-Year Plan targets. Our study reveals that, based on the trend during the 13th Five-Year Plan period, transitioning to wind and solar power would have greater
