The gas transfer performances in a gas/membrane/liquid system were investigated in detail with various membranes. It was found that the oxygen flux in the gas/membrane/liquid system was saturated when the oxygen flux (Fg-g) in the gas/membrane/gas system became more than 1.0 x 10(-5) cm3 (STP) cm-2s-1cm Hg-1 (Fcg-g). This was explained as follows: The resistance of a boundary layer at liquid phase is dominant, i.e., the membrane resistance is negligible in the region of Fg-g which is greater than Fcg-g. Consequently, Fg-g of the membrane should be designed to be greater than Fcg-g, in order to satisfy the gas transfer performance required for blood oxygenation. On the basis of the results above, we have developed a new three-layered composite hollow fiber membrane (MHF) consisting of an ultrathin polyurethane layer supported between two microporous polyethylene layers to prevent serum leakage. It was shown through the evaluation in vitro that MHF had good gas transfer performances for long-term perfusion, and no serum leakage was observed. These characteristics suggest that MHF is quite suitable for long-term usage such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).

The low sulfur selectivity of Fe-based HS-selective catalytic oxidation catalysts is still a problem, especially at a high O content. This is alleviated here through anchoring FeO nanoclusters on UiO-66 via the formation of Fe-O-Zr bonds. The introduced FeO species exist in the form of Fe and Fe.

Because coal seam mining with high geostress and high gas pressure is prone to coal-rock-gas compound dynamic disasters, a disaster energy equation considering the influence of roof elastic energy is established, and a disaster energy criterion considering the influence of roof elastic energy is derived and introduced into COMSOL software to conduct numerical simulations of coal seam mining under different geostress and gas pressures. The study revealed that the increase of ground stress reduces the gas pressure required for disaster occurrence. When the gas pressure reaches a certain value, the disaster will occur even if the ground stress is very small.

High-performance electrocatalysts are highly concerned in oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) related energy applications. However, facile synthesis of hierarchically porous structures with highly exposed active sites and improved mass transfer is challenging. Herein, we develop a novel assembly-foaming strategy for synthesizing hierarchically porous nitrogen-doped carbon supported single-atom iron catalysts.

Water electrolysis represents a green and efficient strategy for hydrogen (H) production. However, the four-electron transfer process involved in its anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) half-reaction restricts the H generation rate. Employing hydrazine oxidation reaction (HzOR) as a substitute for OER in H generation can dramatically reduce energy consumption.

A novel multi-molecular beam/infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRAS) apparatus is described, which was constructed for studying mechanisms and kinetics of heterogeneously catalyzed reactions following a rigorous surface science approach in the pressure range from ultrahigh vacuum (UHV, 1 × 10-10 mbar) to near-ambient pressure (NAP, 1000 mbar) conditions. The apparatus comprises a preparation chamber equipped with standard surface science tools required for the preparation and characterization of model heterogeneous catalysts and two reaction chambers operating at different pressure ranges: in UHV and in the variable pressure range up to NAP conditions. The UHV reaction chamber contains two effusive molecular beams (flux up to 1.
