Numerical Study of Fluid Flow and Phase Behaviour of Tight Geothermal Reservoir

This research proposes a systematic workflow, which utilizes theoretical approaches to identify the complex fluid flow mechanisms and quantify the phase behaviour of confined fluids for geothermal reservoirs. Due to the complexity of tight geothermal reservoirs, conventional EOS cannot be efficiently applied since it does not take into account the interactions between molecules-molecules (m-m) and […]

Artificial photosynthesis: red-light absorbing metal complexes for hydrogen evolution

Molecular artificial photosynthesis is a promising solution to achieve independence of finite fossil fuels and provide an environmental and climate-benign energy supply. In this context, molecular hydrogen is a powerful fuel and consequently the development of molecular photocatalytic systems for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), half-reaction of the water-splitting process, is one of the great […]
