Understanding Deep Earth Mineralogy: A High P/T study of CaSiO3 Perovskite
CaSiO3 perovskite is the third most abundant mineral in the Earth's lower mantle; it also occurs as a major phase at lower pressures and temperatures in subduction zones, where,... -
Nonfluorous Cosurfactant/Hyperbranched Surfactant Mixtures for W/CO2 Microemu...
This proposal aims to explore cheap and environmental-benign cosurfactants (or cosolvents) for yielding CO2-philic hydrocarbon surfactant/water/CO2 microemulsions (W/CO2... -
Further study of high pressure magnetic order and superstructure in BiNiO3 at...
Transition metal oxides make up a remarkable group of materials, exhibiting a wide variety of unusual electronic and magnetic properties. They have generated much interest, in... -
The formation of elongated aggregates in supercritical CO2 through the mixing...
This proposal involves manipulating the curvature of aggregated polar materials in supercritical CO2 (scCO2) by tuning the mixing ratio of fluorocarbon (FC) and hydrocarbon (HC)... -
Unravel Stabilization Mechanism of CO2 Foams under High Temperature and High ...
Long-term stable CO2 foams were generated under high temperature (120 ºC) and high pressure (12 MPa) (HPHT) in our laboratory using a C22-tailed weak cationic surfactant,... -
CO2 foams stabilized by W/CO2 interfacially active hydrocarbon surfactants an...
CO2 foams can be formed in water/carbon dioxide (W/CO2) mixtures with the aid of W/CO2 interfacially active hydrocarbon surfactants and surface treated silica nanoparticles... -
IN-SITU NEUTRON DIFFRACTION STUDIES OF METAL-HYDRIDE HYDROGEN STORAGE MATERIALS
Hydrogen storage is considered to be one of the principal technological barriers in the transition towards a hydrogen-based economy. In this proposal, we plan to look at the key...
