Surface hydration‐induced damage in tight oil‐bearing sandy conglomerate reservoirs

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
A series of techniques such as X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy‐dispersive spectroscopy, conductivity tests, and infrared thermal imaging were used. The key findings are the identification of a two‐stage surface hydration process and the elucidation of the effects of various minerals and elements on the hydration process ...

The impact of forced closure on proppant distribution of hydraulic fracturing in shale formations

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Research findings demonstrate that implementing forced closure within shale formations can remarkably mitigate proppant settlement, concurrently increasing the effective propped surface area from 29.74% to 38.68%. Abstract Forced closure is widely used in conventional oil and gas reservoirs to promote uniform proppant placement.

Research progress and current status of dynamic wave propagation characteristics in rock mass: A review

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This review elucidates the velocity–dispersion–attenuation coupling mechanisms of wave propagation in rock masses, compares six representative models, and reveals how pressure, temperature, mineral composition, and anisotropy jointly control dynamic responses in complex geological media.

Thermal‐induced fracture evolution and acoustic signature of Beishan granite: Insights into tensile strength of barrier system for high‐level radioactive waste disposal

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The tensile strength of granite, a proposed host for nuclear waste, degrades severely above 400°C. We link this to specific microcracking patterns captured by acoustic emission, establishing a scientific basis for assessing repository safety under thermal load.

Hydrophobic eutectic solvent‐engineered membranes for highly permeable, selective, and antifouling pharmaceutical removal from municipal wastewater

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Single‐step incorporation of a hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent (HDES) into polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membranes via non‐solvent induced phase separation creates selective, antifouling membranes for pharmaceutical removal. The HDES nanodomains enhance permeability, electrostatic interactions, and adsorption affinity, enabling efficient and ...

Novel PTFE/PI Nanofibrous Composite Membranes Enabling High‐Flux Desalination and Durable Anti‐Scaling in Membrane Distillation

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration comparing the MD performance of pure PTFE NFMs and PTFE/PI NFMs. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membranes are widely recognized for their low surface energy and strong resistance to salt accumulation in membrane distillation (MD) processes.

Enhancing Anode‐Free Lithium Metal Batteries: A Lightweight MPTS‐MXene Current Collector for Superior Performance and Energy Density

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This study introduces an MPTS‐modified MXene current collector for anode‐free lithium metal batteries (AFLMBs). A key advantage of MPTS‐MXene is its ultralight weight, only 15% as heavy as standard copper per unit volume. Its special layered structure and Si‐O rich surface help lithium deposit smoothly and flat, while forming a protective layer that ...
