These characteristic...Clayey-silt natural gas hydrate reservoirs in the South China Sea exhibit loose and unconsolidated structures, heterogeneous pore structures, high clay mineral contents, and strong hydrophilicity. These characteristics complicate the gas-water two-phase flow process in porous media following hydrate decomposition, posing challenges for efficient development. This study examines the transport response of clayey-silt reservoir samples from the Shenhu area using gas-water two-phase flow experiments and CT scanning to explore changes in pore structure, gas-water distribution, and relative permeability under varying flow conditions. The results indicate that pore heterogeneity significantly influences flow characteristics. Gas preferentially displaces water in larger pores, forming fracture-like pores, which serve as preferential flow channels for gas migration. The preferential flow channels enhance gas-phase permeability up to 19 times that of the water phase when fluid pressures exceed total stresses. However,small pores retain liquid, leading to a high residual water saturation of 0.561. CT imaging reveals that these hydro-fractures improve gas permeability but also confine gas flow to specific channels. Pore network analysis shows that gas injection expands the pore-throat network, enhancing connectivity and forming fracture-like pores. Residual water remains trapped in smaller pores and throats, while structural changes, including new fractures, improve gas flow pathways and overall connectivity. Relative permeability curves demonstrate a narrow gas-water cocurrent-flow zone, a right-shifted iso-permeability point and high reservoir capillary pressure, indicating a strong "water-blocking" effect. The findings suggest that optimizing reservoir stimulation techniques to enhance fracture formation, reduce residual water saturation, and improve gas flow capacity is critical for efficient hydrate reservoir development.展开更多

文摘Hard carbon(HC)remains a leading anode candidate for sodium-ion storage,yet its application is hindered by low initial Coulombic efficiency(ICE)and limited plateau capacity due to uncontrolled defect density and open porosity.Here,we propose a scalable dual-regulation strategy that simultaneously tunes pore mouth size and defect chemistry to enhance sodium storage performance.Using phenol-formaldehyde resin as the carbon precursor and phosphorus pentoxide(P_(2)O_(5))as a bifunctional sacrificial template and dopant source,we synthesize phosphorus-functionalized hard carbon(PF-PHC)featuring a high density of closed pores with well-confined sub-nanometer pore entrances.The in-situ sublimation of P_(2)O_(5) during pyrolysis promotes the formation of closed-pore architectures,while residual phosphorus atoms effectively passivate vacancy-type defects,thereby reducing irreversible Na+adsorption and mitigating excessive solid electrolyte interphase(SEI)formation.As a result,PF-PHC achieves an ICE of 89.3%and a plateau capacity of 289 mAh g^(−1).In-situ characterizations reveal that regulating pore mouth dimensions decouples Na+and solvent access,enabling highly selective ion transport and stable interfacial chemistry.Sodium-ion hybrid capacitors(SIHCs)assembled based on PF-PHC deliver exceptional rate performance and outstanding long-term cycling stability,retaining 98.2%after 10,000 cycles at 2 A g^(−1).This study establishes pore mouth engineering as a robust and scalable design principle for advancing next-generation HC-based sodium storage materials.

文摘THE mechanical response and deformation mechanisms of pure nickel under nanoindentation were systematically investigated using molecular dynamics(MD)simulations,with a particular focus on the novel interplay between crystallographic orientation,grain boundary(GB)proximity,and pore characteristics(size/location).This study compares single-crystal nickel models along[100],[110],and[111]orientations with equiaxed polycrystalline models containing 0,1,and 2.5 nm pores in surface and subsurface configurations.Our results reveal that crystallographic anisotropy manifests as a 24.4%higher elastic modulus and 22.2%greater hardness in[111]-oriented single crystals compared to[100].Pore-GB synergistic effects are found to dominate the deformation behavior:2.5 nm subsurface pores reduce hardness by 25.2%through stress concentration and dislocation annihilation at GBs,whereas surface pores enable mechanical recovery via accelerated dislocation generation post-collapse.Additionally,size-dependent deformation regimes were identified,with 1 nm pores inducing negligible perturbation due to rapid atomic rearrangement,in contrast with persistent softening in 2.5 nm pores.These findings establish atomic-scale design principles for defect engineering in nickel-based aerospace components,demonstrating how crystallographic orientation,pore configuration,and GB interactions collectively govern nanoindentation behavior.

文摘The specific surface area(S S)and pore size(D)exhibit an inherent trade-off in the microscale design of bone implants:larger pores typically correlate with reduced surface area and vice versa.This relationship has attracted notable attention because of its critical role in the regulation of cell adhesion and osteogenesis.However,it remains largely unclear how S S and D affect the generated bone tissue and dynamically change during long-term osteogenesis.Herein,by applying rigorous geometric mapping to minimal surfaces,we constructed precisely partitioned and layer-by-layer thickened tissue models to simulate osteogenesis across different temporal scales and thereby track the dynamic evolution of geometric characteristics,permeability,and mechanobiological tissue differentiation.The high-S S samples were found to facilitate the rapid formation of new bone tissue in the early stages.However,their smaller pores tended to cause occlusions,hindering further tissue development.In contrast,low-S S samples showed slower bone regeneration,but their larger pores provided adequate physical space for tissue regeneration and mass transport,ultimately promoting bone formation in the long term.Mechanobiological regulation suggests that fibrous tissue formation inhibits additional bone formation,establishing a dynamic equilibrium between osteogenesis and pore space to sustain nutrient/waste exchange throughout the regenerative process.Overall,smaller pores are preferable in implants for minimally loaded osteoplasty procedures focused on early-stage bone consolidation,whereas larger pores are preferable in dynamically loaded implants requiring prolonged mechanical stability.

文摘To investigate the pore structure of graphene oxide modified polymer cement mortar(GOPM)under salt-freeze-thaw(SFT)coupling effects and its impact on deterioration,this study modifies polymer cement mortar(EMCM)with graphene oxide(GO).The micro-pore structure of GOPM is characterized using LF-NMR and SEM.Fractal theory is applied to calculate the fractal dimension of pore volume,and the deterioration patterns are analyzed based on the evolution characteristics of capillary pores.The experimental results indicate that,after 25 salt-freeze-thaw cycles(SFTc),SO2-4 ions penetrate the matrix,generating corrosion products that fill existing pores and enhance the compactness of the specimen.As the number of cycles increases,the ongoing formation and expansion of corrosion products within the matrix,combined with persistent freezing forces,and result in the degradation of the pore structure.Therefore,the mass loss rate(MLR)of the specimens shows a trend of first decreasing and then increasing,while the relative dynamic elastic modulus(RDEM)initially increases and then decreases.Compared to the PC group specimens,the G3PM group specimens show a 28.71% reduction in MLR and a 31.42% increase in RDEM after 150 SFTc.The fractal dimensions of the transition pores,capillary pores,and macropores in the G3PM specimens first increase and then decrease as the number of SFTc increases.Among them,the capillary pores show the highest correlation with MLR and RDEM,with correlation coefficients of 0.97438 and 0.98555,respectively.

文摘As underground mining advances to greater depths,cemented paste backfill(CPB)is increasingly subjected to complex thermo-mechanical loading conditions,including multiaxial stress states and elevated temperatures.This study investigates the coupled effects of field-representative vertical self-weight and horizontal rockwall closure stresses,along with in-situ temperatures,on the mechanical behavior and pore water pressure(PWP)evolution of CPB.Experiments were conducted using a novel apparatus capable of controlling multiaxial stress and temperature during curing,replicating in-situ stress paths and thermal profiles typical of deep mine environments.Results show that multiaxial stress enhances CPB strength and stiffness by promoting denser particle packing,reducing porosity,and increasing frictional resistance.Elevated temperatures independently accelerate early-age cement hydration,further improving bond strength and stiffness.When combined,multiaxial stress and elevated temperature produce a synergistic enhancement in unconfined compressive strength(UCS)and elastic modulus,as confirmed by two-way ANOVA and synergy index analysis.PWP responses were also highly sensitive to thermo-mechanical conditions.The evolution of positive and negative PWP was governed by the interplay of thermal expansion,hydration-induced desaturation,and mechanical compaction.Multiaxial stress amplified early positive PWP and delayed its dissipation,whereas elevated temperature accelerated hydration and reduced pore pressure,leading to enhanced suction at later ages.A transient“stress-induced resaturation”effect was observed under late-stage excessive horizontal stress but was mitigated by elevated temperatures.These findings provide critical insights into the coupled mechanical and hydraulic behavior of CPB under realistic field conditions and offer guidance for optimizing backfill design,binder content,and barricade stability in deep mining applications.

文摘To enhance the electrochemical performance of lithium-ion battery anodes with higher silicon content,it is essential to engineer their microstructure for better lithium-ion transport and mitigated volume change as well.Herein,we suggest an effective approach to control the micropore structure of silicon oxide(SiO_(x))/artificial graphite(AG)composite electrodes using a perforated current collector.The electrode features a unique pore structure,where alternating high-porosity domains and low-porosity domains markedly reduce overall electrode resistance,leading to a 20%improvement in rate capability at a 5C-rate discharge condition.Using microstructure-resolved modeling and simulations,we demonstrate that the patterned micropore structure enhances lithium-ion transport,mitigating the electrolyte concentration gradient of lithium-ion.Additionally,perforating current collector with a chemical etching process increases the number of hydrogen bonding sites and enlarges the interface with the SiO_(x)/AG composite electrode,significantly improving adhesion strength.This,in turn,suppresses mechanical degradation and leads to a 50%higher capacity retention.Thus,regularly arranged micropore structure enabled by the perforated current collector successfully improves both rate capability and cycle life in SiO_(x)/AG composite electrodes,providing valuable insights into electrode engineering.

文摘A comprehensive analysis of the microstructure and defects of a thixomolded AZ91D alloy was conducted to elucidate their influences on mechanical properties.Samples were made at injection temperatures ranging from 580 to 640℃.X-ray computed tomography was used to visualize pores,and crystal plasticity finite element simulation was adopted for deformation analysis.The microstructure characterizations reveal a hierarchical cell feature composed of α-Mg and eutectic phases.With the increase of injection temperature,large cell content in the material decreases,while the strength of the alloy increases.The underlying mechanism about strength change is that coarse-grained solids experience smaller stress even in hard orientations.The sample fabricated at a moderate temperature of 620℃ exhibits the highest elongation,least quantity and lower local concentration of pores.The detachment and tearing cracks formed at lower injection temperature and defect bands formed at higher injection temperature add additional crack sources and deteriorate the ductility of the materials.

文摘Based on the experimental results of casting thin section,low temperature nitrogen adsorption,high pressure mercury injection,nuclear magnetic resonance T2 spectrum,contact angle and oil-water interfacial tension,the relationship between pore throat structure and crude oil mobility characteristics of full particle sequence reservoirs in the Lower Permian Fengcheng Formation of Mahu Sag,Junggar Basin,are revealed.(1)With the decrease of reservoir particle size,the volume of pores connected by large throats and the volume of large pores show a decreasing trend,and the distribution and peak ranges of throat and pore radius shift to smaller size in an orderly manner.The upper limits of throat radius,porosity and permeability of unconventional reservoirs in Fengcheng Formation are approximately 0.7μm,8%and 0.1×10^(−3)μm^(2),respectively.(2)As the reservoir particle size decreases,the distribution and peak ranges of pores hosting retained oil and movable oil are shifted to a smaller size in an orderly manner.With the increase of driving pressure,the amount of retained and movable oil of the larger particle reservoir samples shows a more obvious trend of decreasing and increasing,respectively.(3)With the increase of throat radius,the driving pressure of reservoir with different particle levels presents three stages,namely rapid decrease,slow decrease and stabilization.The oil driving pressures of various reservoirs and the differences of them decrease with the increase of temperature and obviously decrease with the increase of throat radius.According to the above experimental analysis,it is concluded that the deep shale oil of Fengcheng Formation in Mahu Sag has great potential for production under geological conditions.

文摘Pore pressure is a decisive measure to assess the reservoir’s geomechanical properties,ensures safe and efficient drilling operations,and optimizes reservoir characterization and production.The conventional approaches sometimes fail to comprehend complex and persistent relationships between pore pressure and formation properties in the heterogeneous reservoirs.This study presents a novel machine learning optimized pore pressure prediction method with a limited dataset,particularly in complex formations.The method addresses the conventional approach's limitations by leveraging its capability to learn complex data relationships.It integrates the best Gradient Boosting Regressor(GBR)algorithm to model pore pressure at wells and later utilizes ContinuousWavelet Transformation(CWT)of the seismic dataset for spatial analysis,and finally employs Deep Neural Network for robust and precise pore pressure modeling for the whole volume.In the second stage,for the spatial variations of pore pressure in the thin Khadro Formation sand reservoir across the entire subsurface area,a three-dimensional pore pressure prediction is conducted using CWT.The relationship between the CWT and geomechanical properties is then established through supervised machine learning models on well locations to predict the uncertainties in pore pressure.Among all intelligent regression techniques developed using petrophysical and elastic properties for pore pressure prediction,the GBR has provided exceptional results that have been validated by evaluation metrics based on the R^(2) score i.e.,0.91 between the calibrated and predicted pore pressure.Via the deep neural network,the relationship between CWT resultant traces and predicted pore pressure is established to analyze the spatial variation.

文摘Forced imbibition,the invasion of a wetting fluid into porous rocks,plays an important role in the effective exploitation of hydrocarbon resources and the geological sequestration of carbon dioxide.However,the interface dynamics influenced by complex topology commonly leads to non-wetting fluid trapping.Particularly,the underlying mechanisms under viscously unfavorable conditions remain unclear.This study employs a direct numerical simulation method to simulate forced imbibition through the reconstructed digital rocks of sandstone.The interface dynamics and fluid–fluid interactions are investigated through transient simulations,while the pore topology metrics are introduced to analyze the impact on steady-state residual fluid distribution obtained by a pseudo-transient scheme.The results show that the cooperative pore-filling process promoted by corner flow is dominant at low capillary numbers.This leads to unstable inlet pressure,mass flow,and interface curvature,which correspond to complicated interface dynamics and higher residual fluid saturation.During forced imbibition,the interface curvature gradually increases,with the pore-filling mechanisms involving the cooperation of main terminal meniscus movement and arc menisci filling.Complex topology with small diameter pores may result in the destabilization of interface curvature.The residual fluid saturation is negatively correlated with porosity and pore throat size,and positively correlated with tortuosity and aspect ratio.A large mean coordination number characterizing global connectivity promotes imbibition.However,high connectivity characterized by the standardized Euler number corresponding to small pores is associated with a high probability of non-wetting fluid trapping.

文摘The accumulation of soil organic carbon(SOC)and total nitrogen(TN)is easily accomplished by returning crop straw,which strongly affects the formation and pore structure of aggregates,especially in black soil.We returned maize straw at different rates(6,000,9,000,12,000 and 15,000 kg ha^(-1))for nine years to investigate its influence on the SOC and TN contents in the SOC fractions of aggregates by combining size and density fractionation.Their subsequent influences on pore morphology and size distribution characteristics were examined using X-ray microcomputed tomography scanning(μCT).The results showed that returning straw significantly increased the contents of C and N in the SOC fractions of aggregates,especially at the return rates of 12,000 and 15,000 kg ha^(-1),which in turn promoted aggregate formation and stability,and ultimately amended pore structure.The pore size>100μm,porosity(>2μm),and morphological characteristics(anisotropy,circularity,connectivity and fractal dimension)significantly increased,but the total number of pores significantly decreased(P<0.05).Our results indicated that the amendment of the pore morphology and size distribution of soil aggregates was primarily controlled by the higher contents of C and N in the density fractions of aggregates,rather than in the aggregate sizes.Furthermore,this pore network reconfiguration favored the storage of C and N simultaneously.The findings of this study offer valuable new insights into the relationships between C and N storage and the pore characteristics in soil aggregates under straw return.

文摘Clayey-silt natural gas hydrate reservoirs in the South China Sea exhibit loose and unconsolidated structures, heterogeneous pore structures, high clay mineral contents, and strong hydrophilicity. These characteristics complicate the gas-water two-phase flow process in porous media following hydrate decomposition, posing challenges for efficient development. This study examines the transport response of clayey-silt reservoir samples from the Shenhu area using gas-water two-phase flow experiments and CT scanning to explore changes in pore structure, gas-water distribution, and relative permeability under varying flow conditions. The results indicate that pore heterogeneity significantly influences flow characteristics. Gas preferentially displaces water in larger pores, forming fracture-like pores, which serve as preferential flow channels for gas migration. The preferential flow channels enhance gas-phase permeability up to 19 times that of the water phase when fluid pressures exceed total stresses. However,small pores retain liquid, leading to a high residual water saturation of 0.561. CT imaging reveals that these hydro-fractures improve gas permeability but also confine gas flow to specific channels. Pore network analysis shows that gas injection expands the pore-throat network, enhancing connectivity and forming fracture-like pores. Residual water remains trapped in smaller pores and throats, while structural changes, including new fractures, improve gas flow pathways and overall connectivity. Relative permeability curves demonstrate a narrow gas-water cocurrent-flow zone, a right-shifted iso-permeability point and high reservoir capillary pressure, indicating a strong "water-blocking" effect. The findings suggest that optimizing reservoir stimulation techniques to enhance fracture formation, reduce residual water saturation, and improve gas flow capacity is critical for efficient hydrate reservoir development.
文摘Background:Enzyme fragility remains a major challenge in research and applications.Free enzymes are highly unstable,inactivated by heat,acid,alkali,or organic solvents,and often lose activity even under optimal storage conditions.Limiting their use in cosmetics.Few commercial products combine acids and enzymes effectively.Objective:To investigate the physicochemical properties,in vitro exfoliation efficacy,and effects on facial skin parameters of a supramolecular acid-enzyme complex(SAE)composed of mandelic acid(MAN),betaine(BET),and composite enzymes(CE;papain and bromelain),thereby establishing a theoretical foundation for cosmetic applications.Methods:The supramolecular structure was characterized using Fourier transform infrared(FTIR)spectroscopy and proton nuclear magnetic resonance(1H NMR)spectroscopy.Dissolution experiments were conducted to compare the solubility of SAE and CE in aqueous solutions.Enzymatic activity assays evaluated the stabilizing effect of supramolecular deep eutectic technology on enzymes.In vitro exfoliation tests assessed acid-enzyme synergy in keratin removal.A 4-week clinical trial evaluated the efficacy of a 2%SAE essence aqueous solution on facial skin parameters.Results:Dissolution experiments confirmed that supramolecular deep eutectic technology significantly improved enzyme solubility.Enzymatic activity tests demonstrated that this technology effectively preserved protease activity,substantially enhancing its practical applicability.Furthermore,in vitro exfoliation efficacy tests revealed that this technology strengthened the synergistic interaction between acids and enzymes and exhibited superior stratum corneum-removing capability of the SAE.In clinical evaluations of efficacy,after 7 days of using the essence containing SAE,the formulation significantly enhanced cheek gloss(+8.08%),while reducing comedones volume(-16.25%).after 28 days,significantly enhanced cheek hydration(+25.0%,SCH),gloss(+15.93%),and smoothness(−7.78%SEsm),while reducing TEWL(−6.86%),sebum(−15.54%),roughness(+16.24%SEr),and pore metrics(volume:−39.98%;count:−30.64%),and decreased comedones(blackheads:−70.33%;Whiteheads:−52.42%;all p<0.05).Conclusion:The supramolecular acid-enzyme complex demonstrates enhanced stability,improved solubility,and superior exfoliation efficacy compared to free enzymes.Clinical results further confirm its multifunctional benefits,including enhancing skin hydration,sebum regulation,barrier repair,pore refinement,and comedolytic effects.This study provides both theoretical and practical foundations for developing stable acid-enzyme combinations in dermatological applications.
文摘Biomass-derived hard carbons,usually prepared by pyrolysis,are widely considered the most promising anode materials for sodium-ion bat-teries(SIBs)due to their high capacity,low poten-tial,sustainability,cost-effectiveness,and environ-mental friendliness.The pyrolysis method affects the microstructure of the material,and ultimately its so-dium storage performance.Our previous work has shown that pyrolysis in a sealed graphite vessel im-proved the sodium storage performance of the car-bon,however the changes in its microstructure and the way this influences the sodium storage are still unclear.A series of hard carbon materials derived from corncobs(CCG-T,where T is the pyrolysis temperature)were pyrolyzed in a sealed graphite vessel at different temperatures.As the pyrolysis temperature increased from 1000 to 1400℃ small carbon domains gradually transformed into long and curved domains.At the same time,a greater number of large open pores with uniform apertures,as well as more closed pores,were formed.With the further increase of pyrolysis temperature to 1600℃,the long and curved domains became longer and straighter,and some closed pores gradually became open.CCG-1400,with abundant closed pores,had a superior SIB performance,with an initial reversible ca-pacity of 320.73 mAh g^(-1) at a current density of 30 mA g^(-1),an initial Coulomb efficiency(ICE)of 84.34%,and a capacity re-tention of 96.70%after 100 cycles.This study provides a method for the precise regulation of the microcrystalline and pore structures of hard carbon materials.
文摘The development of sustainable electrode materials for energy storage systems has become very important and porous carbons derived from biomass have become an important candidate because of their tunable pore structure,environmental friendliness,and cost-effectiveness.Recent advances in controlling the pore structure of these carbons and its relationship between to is energy storage performance are discussed,emphasizing the critical role of a balanced distribution of micropores,mesopores and macropores in determining electrochemical behavior.Particular attention is given to how the intrinsic components of biomass precursors(lignin,cellulose,and hemicellulose)influence pore formation during carbonization.Carbonization and activation strategies to precisely control the pore structure are introduced.Finally,key challenges in the industrial production of these carbons are outlined,and future research directions are proposed.These include the establishment of a database of biomass intrinsic structures and machine learning-assisted pore structure engineering,aimed at providing guidance for the design of high-performance carbon materials for next-generation energy storage devices.

文摘Changes to the microstructure of a hard carbon(HC)and its solid electrolyte interface(SEI)can be effective in improving the electrode kinetics.However,achieving fast charging using a simple and inexpensive strategy without sacrificing its initial Coulombic efficiency remains a challenge in sodium ion batteries.A simple liquid-phase coating approach has been used to generate a pitch-derived soft carbon layer on the HC surface,and its effect on the porosity of HC and SEI chemistry has been studied.A variety of structural characterizations show a soft carbon coating can increase the defect and ultra-micropore contents.The increase in ultra-micropore comes from both the soft carbon coatings and the larger pores within the HC that are partially filled by pitch,which provides more Na+storage sites.In-situ FTIR/EIS and ex-situ XPS showed that the soft carbon coating induced the formation of thinner SEI that is richer in NaF from the electrolyte,which stabilized the interface and promoted the charge transfer process.As a result,the anode produced fastcharging(329.8 mAh g^(−1)at 30 mA g^(−1)and 198.6 mAh g^(−1)at 300 mA g^(−1))and had a better cycling performance(a high capacity retention of 81.4%after 100 cycles at 150 mA g^(−1)).This work reveals the critical role of coating layer in changing the pore structure,SEI chemistry and diffusion kinetics of hard carbon,which enables rational design of sodium-ion battery anode with enhanced fast charging capability.
文摘The demand for high-energy-density sodium-ion batteries has driven research to increase the hard carbon(HC)plateau capacity(<0.1 V),but the plateau capacity-rate capability trade-off limits performance.We report a way to regulate the closed pore structure and improve the rate capability of HC by the addition of graphene oxide using an emulsification process.In a non-emulsion system,graphene oxide not only shortens ion diffusion paths by inducing the formation of flakelike HC but also significantly improves the rate performance by serving as conductive bridges within the carbon matrix.The prepared graphene/phenolic resin carbon composite has reversible capacities of 362,340,319,274,119,86,69 and 48 mAh g^(−1)at current densities of 0.02,0.05,0.1,0.2,0.5,1,2 and 5 A g^(−1),respectively.When emulsification is introduced,the graphene oxide acts as a nano-confinement template,guiding the cross-linking of phenolic resin to form uniformly sized closed pores.This composite electrode material has the highest plateau capacity of 268 mAh g^(−1)at 20 mA g^(−1).

文摘Four types of Mg-5Zn porous scaffolds with different pore geometries,including body-centered cubic(bcc),the rhombic dodecahedron(RD),gyroid(G),and primitive(P)types,were designed and fabricated using selective laser melting.Their forming quality,compression mechanical properties,and degradation behavior were investigated.Results indicate that the fabricated scaffolds exhibit good dimensional accuracy,and the surface chemical polishing treatment significantly improves the forming quality and reduces porosity error in porous scaffolds.Compared to the ones with rod structures(bcc,RD),the scaffolds with surface structures(G,P)have less powder particle adhesion.The G porous scaffold exhibits the best forming quality for the same design porosity.The predominant failure mode of scaffolds during compression is a 45°shear fracture.At a porosity of 75%,the compression property of all scaffolds meets the compressive property requirements of cancellous bone,while bcc and G structures show relatively better compression property.After immersion in Hank's solution for 168 h,the B-2-75% pore structure scaffold exhibits severe localized corrosion,with fractures in partial pillar connections.In contrast,the G-3-75% pore structure scaffold mainly undergoes uniform corrosion,maintaining structural integrity,and its corrosion rate and loss of compressive properties are less than those of the B-2-75%structure.After comparison,the G-pore structure scaffold is preferred.
文摘To obtain materials capable of efficiently separating acetylene(C_(2)H_(2))from carbon dioxide(CO_(2))and eth-ylene(C_(2)H_(4)),In this work,based on the pore space partition strategy,a pacs-metal-organic framework(MOF):(NH_(2)Me_(2))_(2)[Fe_(3)(μ_(3)-O)(bdc)_(3)][In(FA)_(3)Cl_(3)](Fe‑FAIn‑bdc)was synthesized successfully by using the metal-formate com-plex[In(FA)_(3)Cl_(3)]^(3-)as the pore partition units,where bdc^(2-)=terephthalate,FA-=formate.Owing to the pore partition effect of this metal-organic building block,fruitful confined spaces are formed in the network of Fe‑FAIn‑bdc,endowing this MOF with superior separation performance of acetylene and carbon dioxide.According to the adsorp-tion test,this MOF exhibited a high adsorption capacity for C_(2)H_(2)(50.79 cm^(3)·g^(-1))at 298 K and 100 kPa,which was much higher than that for CO_(2)(29.99 cm^(3)·g^(-1))and C_(2)H_(4)(30.94 cm^(3)·g^(-1))under the same conditions.Ideal adsorbed solution theory(IAST)calculations demonstrate that the adsorption selectivity of Fe‑FAIn‑bdc for the mixture of C_(2)H_(2)/CO_(2)and C_(2)H_(2)/C_(2)H_(4)in a volume ratio of 50∶50 was 3.08 and 3.65,respectively,which was higher than some reported MOFs such as NUM-11 and SNNU-18.CCDC:_(2)453954.

文摘Subsurface rocks,as complex porous media,exhibit multiscale pore structures and intricate physical properties.Digital rock physics technology has become increasingly influential in the study of subsurface rock properties.Given the multiscale characteristics of rock pore structures,direct three-dimensional imaging at sub-micrometer and nanometer scales is typically infeasible.This study introduces a method for reconstructing porous media using multidimensional data,which combines one-dimensional pore structure parameters with two-dimensional images to reconstruct three-dimensional models.The pore network model(PNM)is stochastically reconstructed using one-dimensional parameters,and a generative adversarial network(GAN)is utilized to equip the PNM with pore morphologies derived from two-dimensional images.The digital rocks generated by this method possess excellent controllability.Using Berea sandstone and Grosmont carbonate samples,we performed digital rock reconstructions based on PNM extracted by the maximum ball algorithm and compared them with stochastically reconstructed PNM.Pore structure parameters,permeability,and formation factors were calculated.The results show that the generated samples exhibit good consistency with real samples in terms of pore morphology,pore structure,and physical properties.Furthermore,our method effectively supplements the micropores not captured in CT images,demonstrating its potential in multiscale carbonate samples.Thus,the proposed reconstruction method is promising for advancing porous media property research.
