Phase behavior of heavy oil–solvent mixture systems under reservoir conditions

Petroleum Science, 2020
A novel experimental procedure was proposed to investigate the phase behavior of a solvent mixture (SM) (64 mol% CH 4 , 8 mol% CO 2 , and 28 mol% C 3 H 8 ) with heavy oil. Then, a theoretical methodology was employed to estimate the phase behavior of the

Peroxidasin enables melanoma immune escape by inhibiting natural killer cell cytotoxicity

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Peroxidasin (PXDN) is secreted by melanoma cells and binds the NK cell receptor NKG2D, thereby suppressing NK cell activation and cytotoxicity. PXDN depletion restores NKG2D signaling and enables effective NK cell–mediated melanoma killing. These findings identify PXDN as a previously unrecognized immune evasion factor and a potential target to improve

Quantification and optimization of platinum–molybdenum carbide interfacial sites to enhance low-temperature water-gas shift reaction

Nature Communications
Pt/α-MoC1-x catalysts exhibit exceptional activity in low-temperature water-gas shift reactions. However, quantitatively identifying and fine-tuning the active sites has remained a significant challenge.

CO2 Foam and CO2 Polymer Enhanced Foam for Heavy Oil Recovery and CO2 Storage

Energies, 2020
Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) from heavy oil reservoirs is challenging. High oil viscosity, high mobility ratio, inadequate sweep, and reservoir heterogeneity adds more challenges and severe difficulties during any EOR method.

Rethinking plastic waste: innovations in enzymatic breakdown of oil‐based polyesters and bioplastics

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Plastic pollution remains a critical environmental challenge, and current mechanical and chemical recycling methods are insufficient to achieve a fully circular economy. This review highlights recent breakthroughs in the enzymatic depolymerization of both oil‐derived polyesters and bioplastics, including high‐throughput protein engineering, de novo ...

Uniformly dispersed bismuth metal nano catalyst modified carbon cloth electrode for iron-chromium flow battery

Nano Research Energy
Due to the advantages of low cost and good stability, iron-chromium flow batteries (ICRFBs) have been widely used in energy storage development. However, issues such as poor Cr3+/Cr2+ activity still need to be addressed urgently.

Efficient Fe based catalyst with nitrogen doped carbon material modification for propane non-oxidative dehydrogenation

Carbon Resources Conversion, 2020
Nitrogen doped carbon species (NC) was introduced into Fe based catalyst and applied into propane non-oxidative dehydrogenation. With characterizations of XRD, TEM and XPS, it was deduced that the NC modification induces the electrons transferred from NC

Cutaneous Melanoma Drives Metabolic Changes in the Aged Bone Marrow Immune Microenvironment

Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.
Melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, increasingly affects older adults. Our study reveals that melanoma induces changes in iron and lipid levels in the bone marrow, impacting immune cell populations and increasing susceptibility to ferroptosis.
