The two-phase flow evaluation method based on the Li-Horne model is utilized to effectively characterize and quantify the seepage characteristics of different reservoirs, closely relating them to the distribution of microscopic pores and throats. It is observed that conglomerate sandstones at different stages exhibit significant heterogeneity and noticeable differences in seepage capacity, highlighting the crucial role played by certain large pore throats in determining seepage capacity and oil displacement efficiency. Furthermore, it was found that the displacement effects of conglomeratic sandstones with strong heterogeneity were inferior to those of conventional homogeneous sandstone, as evidenced by multiple displacement experiments conducted on core samples with varying granularities and flooding systems. Subsequently, core-based experiments on associated gas flooding after water flooding were conducted to address the challenge of achieving satisfactory results in a single displacement mode for reservoirs with significant heterogeneity. The results indicate that the oil recovery rates for associated gas flooding after water flooding increased by 7.3%-16.4% compared with water flooding alone at a gas-oil ratio of approximately 7000 m^(3)/m^(3). Therefore, considering the advantages of gas flooding in terms of seepage capacity, oil exchange ratio, and the potential for two-phase production, gas flooding is recommended as an energy supplement mode for homogeneous reservoirs in the presence of sufficient gas source and appropriate tectonic angle. On the other hand, associated gas flooding after water flooding is suggested to achieve a more favorable development effect compared to a single mode of energy supplementation for strongly heterogeneous sandstone reservoirs.展开更多

Using the deep downhole cores of an exploratory carbonate-rich shale gas well, the physical and mechanical parameters and failure mechanism of the whole reservoir section were acquired and evaluated systematically, by performing XRD, tri-axial compression, Brazilian splitting, and fracture toughness tests. A new model was established to evaluate the reservoir brittleness based on fracture morphology and stress-strain curve. Recommended strategy for reservoir stimulation was discussed. Results showed that(1) Carbonate-rich shale possessed high compressive strength and high Young's modulus, which were improved by 10.74% and 3.37% compared to that of siliceous shale. It featured high tensile strength and fracture toughness, with insignificant anisotropy.(2) With the content of carbonate minerals increasing, the shear failure morphology transformed from sparse and wide brittle fractures to diffusely distributed and subtle plastic cracks.(3) The brittleness index order was: siliceous shale, clay-rich shale, carbonate-rich shale, and limestone.(4) The special properties of carbonate-rich shale were rooted in the inherent feature of carbonate minerals(high strength, high elastic modulus,and cleavage structure), resulting in greater challenge in reservoirs stimulation. The above findings would promote the understanding of carbonate-rich shale reservoirs and provide reference for the optimum design of reservoir stimulation.展开更多

Anisotropic FWI has the potential to recover high-resolution velocity and anisotropy parameter models, which are critical for imaging the long-offset and wideazimuth data. We develop an acoustic anisotropic FWI method based on a simplified pure quasi P-wave(qP-wave) equation, which can be solved efficiently and is beneficial for the subsequent inversion.Using the inverse Hessian operator to precondition the functional gradients helps to reduce the parameter tradeoff in the multi-parameter inversion. To balance the accuracy and efficiency, we extend the truncated Gauss-Newton(TGN) method into FWI of pure qP-waves in vertical transverse isotropic(VTI) media. The inversion is performed in a nested way: a linear inner loop and a nonlinear outer loop.We derive the formulation of Hessian-vector products for pure qP-waves in VTI media based on the Lagrange multiplier method and compute the model update by solving a Gauss-Newton linear system via a matrix-free conjugate gradient method. A suitable preconditioner and the Eisenstat and Walker stopping criterion for the inner iterations are used to accelerate the convergence and avoid prohibitive computational cost. We test the proposed FWI method on several synthetic data sets. Inversion results reveal that the pure acoustic VTI FWI exhibits greater accuracy than the conventional pseudoacoustic VTI FWI. Additionally, the TGN method proves effective in mitigating the parameter crosstalk and increasing the accuracy of anisotropy parameters.展开更多

文摘Alpine treeline ecotones are highly sensitive to climate warming.The low temperature-determined alpine treeline is expected to shift upwards in response to global warming.However,little is known about how temperature interacts with other important factors to influence the distribution range of tree species within and beyond the alpine treeline ecotone.Hence,we used a GF-2 satellite image,along with bioclimatic and topographic variables,to develop an ensemble suitable habitat model based on the species distribution modeling algorithms in Biomod2.We investigated the distribution of suitable habitats for B.ermanii under three climate change scenarios(i.e.,low(SSP126),moderate(SSP370)and extreme(SSP585)future emission trajectories)between two consecutive time periods(i.e.,current-2055,and 2055-2085).By 2055,the potential distribution range of B.ermanii will expand under all three climate scenarios.The medium and high suitable areas will decline under SSP370 and SSP585scenarios from 2055 to 2085.Moreover,under the three climate scenarios,the uppermost altitudes of low suitable habitat will rise to 2,329 m a.s.l.,while the altitudes of medium and high suitable habitats will fall to 2,201 and2,051 m a.s.l.by 2085,respectively.Warming promotes the expansion of B.ermanii distribution range in Changbai Mountain,and this expansion will be modified by precipitation as climate warming continues.This interaction between temperature and precipitation plays a significant role in shaping the potential distribution range of B.ermanii in the alpine treeline ecotone.This study reveals the link between environmental factors,habitat distribution,and species distribution in the alpine treeline ecotone,providing valuable insights into the impacts of climate change on high-elevation vegetation,and contributing to mountain biodiversity conservation and sustainable development.

文摘Recently, a new promising type of marine shale gas reservoir, carbonate-rich shale, has been discovered.But the mechanical properties of this type of shale were still unrevealed and the corresponding reservoir stimulation design was lack of guidance. Using the deep downhole cores of an exploratory carbonate-rich shale gas well, the physical and mechanical parameters and failure mechanism of the whole reservoir section were acquired and evaluated systematically, by performing XRD, tri-axial compression, Brazilian splitting, and fracture toughness tests. A new model was established to evaluate the reservoir brittleness based on fracture morphology and stress-strain curve. Recommended strategy for reservoir stimulation was discussed. Results showed that(1) Carbonate-rich shale possessed high compressive strength and high Young's modulus, which were improved by 10.74% and 3.37% compared to that of siliceous shale. It featured high tensile strength and fracture toughness, with insignificant anisotropy.(2) With the content of carbonate minerals increasing, the shear failure morphology transformed from sparse and wide brittle fractures to diffusely distributed and subtle plastic cracks.(3) The brittleness index order was: siliceous shale, clay-rich shale, carbonate-rich shale, and limestone.(4) The special properties of carbonate-rich shale were rooted in the inherent feature of carbonate minerals(high strength, high elastic modulus,and cleavage structure), resulting in greater challenge in reservoirs stimulation. The above findings would promote the understanding of carbonate-rich shale reservoirs and provide reference for the optimum design of reservoir stimulation.

文摘Full-waveform inversion(FWI) uses the full information of seismic data to obtain a quantitative estimation of subsurface physical parameters. Anisotropic FWI has the potential to recover high-resolution velocity and anisotropy parameter models, which are critical for imaging the long-offset and wideazimuth data. We develop an acoustic anisotropic FWI method based on a simplified pure quasi P-wave(qP-wave) equation, which can be solved efficiently and is beneficial for the subsequent inversion.Using the inverse Hessian operator to precondition the functional gradients helps to reduce the parameter tradeoff in the multi-parameter inversion. To balance the accuracy and efficiency, we extend the truncated Gauss-Newton(TGN) method into FWI of pure qP-waves in vertical transverse isotropic(VTI) media. The inversion is performed in a nested way: a linear inner loop and a nonlinear outer loop.We derive the formulation of Hessian-vector products for pure qP-waves in VTI media based on the Lagrange multiplier method and compute the model update by solving a Gauss-Newton linear system via a matrix-free conjugate gradient method. A suitable preconditioner and the Eisenstat and Walker stopping criterion for the inner iterations are used to accelerate the convergence and avoid prohibitive computational cost. We test the proposed FWI method on several synthetic data sets. Inversion results reveal that the pure acoustic VTI FWI exhibits greater accuracy than the conventional pseudoacoustic VTI FWI. Additionally, the TGN method proves effective in mitigating the parameter crosstalk and increasing the accuracy of anisotropy parameters.

文摘Urbanization has resulted in a significant degra-dation of soil quality,subjecting plants to persistent abiotic stressors such as heavy metal pollution,salinization,and drought.UDP-glycosyltransferases(UGTs)participate in protein glycosylation,secondary metabolite synthesis,and detoxification of exogenous toxic substances.Iris sanguinea Donn ex Hornem exhibits a high degree of resistance to various abiotic stressors.To enhance the plant’s response to adversity,a novel glycosyltransferase belonging to the UGT78 family,encoding flavonoid 3-O-glucosyltransferase(UF3GT),was cloned from the monocot species I.san-guinea.Compared with the control group,overexpression of IsUGT78 enhanced sensitivity to cadmium stress,while showing no significant impact under NaCl and d-sorbitol treatments.Under cadmium treatment,arabidopsis exoge-nously transformed with the IsUGT78 gene possessed lower germination,fresh weight,root length,and chlorophyll con-tent and increased malondialdehyde content than the wild type arabidopsis.In addition,metabolomics in leaves led to the identification of 299 flavonoid metabolites,eight and 127 which were significantly up-and down-regulated,respec-tively,in the transgenic plants.Of note,all eight upregulated flavonoid compounds were glycosylated.Given that arabi-dopsis,which exogenously expresses the IsUGT78 gene,has reduced resistance to cadmium,IsUGT78 may lead to a reduced ability to cope with cadmium stress.

文摘The aqueous zinc ion batteries(AZIBs)are thought as promising competitors for electrochemical energy storage,though their wide application is curbed by the uncontrollable dendrite growth and gas evolution side reactions.Herein,to stabilize both zinc anodes and water molecules,we developed a modified electrolyte by adding a trace amount of N,N-diethylformanmide(DEF)into the ZnSO_(4)electrolyte for the first time in zinc ion batteries.The effectiveness of DEF is predicted by the comparison of donor number and its preferential adsorption behavior on the zinc anode is further demonstrated by several spectroscopy characterizations,electrochemical methods,and molecular dynamics simulation.The modified electrolyte with 5%v.t.DEF content can ensure a stable cycling life longer than 3400 h of Zn‖Zn symmetric cells and an ultra-reversible Zn stripping/plating process with a high coulombic efficiency of 99.7%.The Zn‖VO_(2)full cell maintains a capacity retention of 83.5%and a 104 mA h g^(-1)mass capacity after 1000cycles.This work provides insights into the role of interfacial adsorption behavior and the donor number of additive molecules in designing low-content and effective aqueous electrolytes.

文摘The uncontrollable growth of Zn dendrites accompanied by side reactions severely impedes the industrialized process of zinc ion electrochemical energy storage devices.Herein,we propose a practical metalorganic complex interface layer to manipulate the zinc ion flux and electric field intensity,enabling highly homogeneous zinc electrodeposition.The zinc-terephthalic acid complex(ZnPTA)with lower adsorption energy for zinc ion(-1.3 eV)builds a zincophilic interface favoring the ordered nucleation and growth of Zn.Moreover,the ZnPTA layer can serve as physical barrier to protect the newly deposited Zn from corrosion in the aqueous electrolyte.The modified Zn anode with the ZnPTA layer(ZnPTA@Zn)demonstrates excellent cycling stability more than 3000 h at 1 mA/cm^(2).Besides,the zinc-ion battery and zinc-ion hybrid capacitor using the ZnPTA@Zn electrode deliver outstanding cycle performance(up to 5500 cycles with high residual capacity ratio of 77.9%).This work provides a promising metal-organic complex interface design on enhancing the performance of Zn metal anode.

文摘Steering the directional carrier migration across the interface is a central mission for efficient photocatalytic reactions.In this work,an atomic-shared heterointerface is constructed between the defect-rich ZnIn_(2)S_(4)(HVs-ZIS)and CoIn_(2)S_(4)(CIS)via a defect-guided heteroepitaxial growth strategy.The strong interface coupling induces adequate carriers exchanging passageway between HVs-ZIS and CIS,enhancing the internal electric field(IEF)in the ZnIn_(2)S_(4)/CoIn_(2)S_(4)(HVs-ZIS/CIS)heterostructure.The defect structure in HVs-ZIS induces an additional defect level,improving the separation efficiency of photocarriers.Moreover,promoted by the IEF and intimate heterointerface,photogenerated electrons trapped by the defect level can migrate to the valence band of CIS,contributing to massive photogenerated electrons with intense reducibility in HVs-ZIS/CIS.Consequently,the HVs-ZIS/CIS heterostructure performs a boosted H_(2)evolution activity of 33.65 mmol g^(-1)h^(-1).This work highlights the synergistic effects of defect and strong interface coupling in regulating carrier transfer and paves a brave avenue for constructing efficient heterostructure photocatalysts.

文摘The development of highly active,stable and inexpensive electrocatalysts for hydrogen production by defects and morphology engineering remains a great challenge.Herein,S vacancies-rich Ni_(3)S_(2)@Cu_(2)S nan-otube heterojunction arrays were in-situ grown on copper foam(V_(s)-Ni_(3)S_(2)@V_(s)-Cu_(2)S NHAs/CF)for efficient electrocatalytic overall water splitting.With the merits of nanotube arrays and efficient electronic mod-ulation drived by the OD vacancy defect and 2D heterojunction defect,the resultant V_(s)-Ni_(3)S_(2)@V_(s)-Cu_(2)S NHAs/CF electrocatalyst exhibits excellent electrocatalytic activity with a low overpotential of 47 mV for the hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)at 10 mA cm^(-2) current density,and 263 mV for the oxygen evolution reaction(OER)at 50 mA cm^(-2) current density,as well as a cell voltage of 1.48 V at 10 mA cm^(-2).Moreover,the nanotube heterojunction arrays endows V_(s)-Ni_(3)S_(2)@V_(s)-Cu_(2)S NHAs/CF with outstanding stability in long-term catalytic processes,as confirmed by the continuous chronopotentiom-etry tests at current densities of 10 mA cm^(-2) for 100 h.

文摘Broadband electromagnetic(EM)wave absorption materials play an important role in military stealth and health protection.Herein,metal–organic frameworks(MOFs)-derived magnetic-carbon CoNiM@C(M=Cu,Zn,Fe,Mn)microspheres are fabricated,which exhibit flower-like nano–microstructure with tunable EM response capacity.Based on the MOFs-derived CoNi@C microsphere,the adjacent third element is introduced into magnetic CoNi alloy to enhance EM wave absorption performance.In term of broadband absorption,the order of efficient absorption bandwidth(EAB)value is Mn>Fe=Zn>Cu in the CoNiM@C microspheres.Therefore,MOFs-derived flower-like CoNiMn@C microspheres hold outstanding broadband absorption and the EAB can reach up to 5.8 GHz(covering 12.2–18 GHz at 2.0 mm thickness).Besides,off-axis electron holography and computational simulations are applied to elucidate the inherent dielectric dissipation and magnetic loss.Rich heterointerfaces in CoNiMn@C promote the aggregation of the negative/positive charges at the contacting region,forming interfacial polarization.The graphitized carbon layer catalyzed by the magnetic CoNiMn core offered the electron mobility path,boosting the conductive loss.Equally importantly,magnetic coupling is observed in the CoNiMn@C to strengthen the magnetic responding behaviors.This study provides a new guide to build broadband EM absorption by regulating the ternary magnetic alloy.

文摘Rechargeable magnesium batteries(RMBs)hold promise for offering higher volumetric energy density and safety features,attracting increasing research interest as the next post lithium-ion batteries.Developing high performance cathode material by inducing multi-electron reaction process as well as maintaining structural stability is the key to the development and application of RMBs.Herein,multielectron reaction occurred in VS_(4)by simple W doping strategy.W doping induces valence of partial V as V^(2+)and V^(3+)in VS_(4)structure,and then stimulates electrochemical reaction involving multi-electrons in 0.5%W-V-S.The flower-like microsphere morphology as well as rich S vacancies is also modulated by W doping to neutralize structure change in such multi-electron reaction process.The fabricated 0.5%W-V-S delivers higher specific capacity(149.3 m A h g^(-1)at 50 m A g^(-1),which is 1.6 times higher than that of VS_(4)),superior rate capability(76 mA h g^(-1)at 1000 mA g^(-1)),and stable cycling performance(1500cycles with capacity retention ratio of 93.8%).Besides that,pesudocapaticance-like contribution analysis as well as galvanostatic intermittent titration technique(GITT)further confirms the enhanced Mg^(2+)storage kinetics during such multi-electron involved electrochemical reaction process.Such discovery provides new insights into the designing of multi-electron reaction process in cathode as well as neutralizing structural change during such reaction for realizing superior electrochemical performance in energy storage devices.

文摘Marine biofouling seriously affects human marine exploitation and transportation activities,to which marine antifouling(AF)coatings are considered to be the most cost-effective solution.Since the mid-20th century,human beings have dedicated their efforts on developing AF coatings with long cycle and high performance,leading to a large number of non-target organisms?distortion,death and marine environmental pollution.Polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS),is considered as one of the representative environment-friendly AF materials thanks to its non-toxic,hydrophobic,low surface energy and AF properties.However,PDMS AF coatings are prone to mechanical damage,weak adhesion strength to substrate,and poor static AF effect,which seriously restrict their use in the ocean.The rapid development of various nanomaterials provides an opportunity to enhance and improve the mechanical properties and antifouling properties of PDMS coating by embedding nanomaterials.Based on our research background and the problems faced in our laboratory,this article presents an overview of the current progress in the fields of PDMS composite coatings enhanced by different nanomaterials,with the discussion focused on the advantages and main bottlenecks currently encountered in this field.Finally,we propose an outlook,hoping to provide fundamental guidance for the development of marine AF field.

文摘The melting points of ionic liquids(ILs)reported since 2020 were surveyed,collected,and reviewed,which were further combined with the previous data to provide a database with 3129 ILs ranging from 177.15 to 645.9 K in melting points.In addition,the factors that affect the melting point of ILs from macro,micro,and thermodynamic perspectives were summarized and analyzed.Then the development of the quantitative structure-property relationship(QSPR),group contribution method(GCM),and conductor-like screening model for realistic solvents(COSMO-RS)for predicting the melting points of ILs were reviewed and further analyzed.Combined with the evaluation together with the preliminary study conducted in this work,it shows that COSMO-RS is more promising and possible to further improve its performance,and a framework was thus proposed.
