The poor proppant-carrying capacity of SC-CO 2 fracturing (SCF) negates its potential
advantages for the exploitation of deep unconventional gas reservoirs over traditional water …

This review discusses modern developments in CO 2 surface chemistry by focusing on the
work published since the original review by HJ Freund and MW Roberts two decades ago …

The geological storage of carbon dioxide (CO 2) is a well-studied technology, and a number
of demonstration projects around the world have proven its feasibility and challenges …

Interactions between injected CO2 and shale formation during the process of CO2
sequestration with enhancing shale gas recovery (CS-EGR) may alter the physical and …

Clay minerals contain a massive amount of nanopores and play a significant role in gas
adsorption in shale. Although the pore structure of clay minerals has been widely studied …

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is likely to be a critical technology to achieve large
reductions in global carbon emissions over the next century. Research on the subsurface …

Clay mineral-water interactions are ubiquitous, and crucial to a variety of natural processes
including all aspects of geology, sedimentology, edaphology, geomorphology, seismology …

Molecular dynamics simulations using classical force fields were carried out to study the
structural and transport properties of clay mineral–water–CO2 systems at pressure and …

Interactions between CO2 and H2O fluids and the rocks that host them are of significance for
Geological Carbon Storage (GCS) for several reasons. These interactions determine the …

Expandable clays such as montmorillonite have interlayer exchange sites whose hydration
state can be systematically varied from near anhydrous to almost bulk-like water conditions …
