Theoretical Study of Solid Materials for CO2 Capture Technology

Duan Y., National Energy Technology Laboratory, US

In this presentation, we will update our progress on Computational designing and screening of solid materials for CO2 capture. By combining thermodynamic database searching with ab initio thermodynamics calculations, we present a simulation scheme to [...]

Novel Onboard Flotation for Spilled Oil Recovery under Artic and Gulf of Mexico Conditions

Shi F., Duan Y., Soong Y., Gray M., National Energy Technology Laboratory, US

Preventing oil spills is a top priority for the oil and gas industry, and the ability to avert and respond to oil spills is essential for obtaining an operating license. Oil spill response is a [...]

Theoretical Synthesis of Mixed Materials for CO2 Capture Applications

Duan Y., DOE-National Energy Technology Laboratory, US

Since the current technologies for capturing CO2 are still too energy intensive, to develop new materials that can capture CO2 reversibly with acceptable energy costs are needed. By combining thermodynamic database mining with first principles [...]

A Comparative Analysis of Transistors Based on Dielectrophoresis-Aligned Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) and Assembled Random-Network CNTs

Juhala J.L., Griffith B.W., Duan Y., Xue W., Washington State University, US

CNTs have gained significant attention due to their potential as an alternative nanomaterial to be utilized in micro/nano-scale electronics. To continuously improve the performance of CNT-based electronic devices, the CNTs and their manipulation methods must [...]
