Advancements in defect engineering of two-dimensional nanomaterial-based membranes for enhanced gas separation.

The advent of two-dimensional nanomaterials, a revolutionary class of materials, is marked by their atomic-scale thickness, superior aspect ratios, robust mechanical attributes, and exceptional chemical stability. These materials, producible on a large scale, are emerging as the forefront candidates in the domain of membrane-based gas separation. The concept of defect engineering in 2D nanomaterials has introduced a novel approach in their application for membrane separation, offering an effective technique to augment the performance of these membranes.

Characterization and Analysis of Corrosion Resistance of Rubber Materials for Downhole Tools in a High-Stress Environment with Coupled HS-CO.

In the process of constructing deep natural gas wells in Sichuan and Chongqing, gas wells encounter various technical challenges such as high temperature, high pressure, and a corrosive environment containing HS and CO. The corrosion of rubber materials in these acidic environments can easily lead to seal failure in downhole tools. To better investigate the corrosion resistance of rubber materials in acidic environments, we utilized a dynamic cyclic corrosion experimental device capable of simulating the service conditions experienced by downhole tools under high-temperature, high-pressure multiphase flow.
