Nanofluidics has firmly established itself as a new field in fluid mechanics, as novel
properties have been shown to emerge in fluids at the nanometric scale. Thanks to recent …

Different from the conventional oil reservoirs, the primary storage space of shale is
micro/nano pore networks. Moreover, the multiscale and multi-minerals characteristics of …

Selective solvent and solute transport across nanopores is fundamental to membrane
separations, yet it remains poorly understood, especially for non-aqueous systems. Here, we …

Understanding and controlling the flow of water confined in nanopores has tremendous
implications in theoretical studies and industrial applications. Here, we propose a simple …

Up to date, for the purpose of simplicity, graphene-based structures, like nano-porous
carbons or carbon nanotubes, have been widely utilized to investigate methane flow …

Asphalt-based materials are abundant and a major nontraditional source of reactive organic
compounds in urban areas, but their emissions are essentially absent from inventories. At …

As the typical unconventional reservoir, shale gas is believed to be the most promising
alternative for the conventional resources in future energy patterns, attracting more and …

Solid organic matter (OM) plays an essential role in the generation, migration, storage, and
production of hydrocarbons from economically important shale rock formations. Electron …

Understanding the transport of liquid hydrocarbon through nanopores of inorganic minerals
is crucial not only to develop liquid-rich shale reservoirs, but also to grasp oil migration from …

Despite kerogen's importance as the organic backbone for hydrocarbon production from
source rocks such as gas shale, the interplay between kerogen's chemistry, morphology and …
