Abstract
The current review presents a discussion on the utility of neutron scattering, with emphasis on neutron total scattering and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS), to explore the structural properties and the phase behaviour of fluids confined in nanopores. The effectiveness of contrast matching SANS on the evaluation of accessibility of porous materials to invading fluids is highlighted too. This review provides also an overview regarding the neutron scattering studies on the structure and the accessibility of greenhouse gases in the complex pore network of geomaterials, with applications to CO2 geological sequestration and enhanced oil and gas recovery.
本综述讨论了中子散射的实用性,重点是中子全散射和小角中子散射(SANS),以探索纳米孔隙中封闭流体的结构特性和相态。此外,还强调了对比匹配 SANS 在评估多孔材料对入侵流体的可及性方面的有效性。这篇综述还概述了中子散射对地质材料复杂孔隙网络中温室气体的结构和可及性的研究,以及在二氧化碳地质封存和提高油气采收率方面的应用。
期刊介绍:
ChemPlusChem is a peer-reviewed, general chemistry journal that brings readers the very best in multidisciplinary research centering on chemistry. It is published on behalf of Chemistry Europe, an association of 16 European chemical societies.
Fully comprehensive in its scope, ChemPlusChem publishes articles covering new results from at least two different aspects (subfields) of chemistry or one of chemistry and one of another scientific discipline (one chemistry topic plus another one, hence the title ChemPlusChem). All suitable submissions undergo balanced peer review by experts in the field to ensure the highest quality, originality, relevance, significance, and validity.
