Abstract
Shale gas reservoirs generally have ultra-low water saturation, and the water in reservoirs is closely bound to the walls of inorganic nanopores, forming a water film structure on the hydrophilic surface. When shale gas enters the inorganic nanopores, the water films in the inorganic pores will be removed by evaporation instead of being driven away by the gas, which increases the difficulty of predicting production during shale gas extraction. Based on molecular dynamics simulations, a water film evaporation model is proposed, considering the evaporation of water films during shale gas transport and the influence of water film evaporation on the shale gas transport mechanism. The Green-Kubo method is employed to calculate the viscosity of the water film. The evaporation flux of the water film under the influence of viscosity is discussed in the evaporation model. The transport mechanisms of shale gas in nanopores and the effect of water film evaporation on shale gas transport mechanisms are analyzed in detail. The result indicates that the water films in the inorganic nanopores are constrained on the hydrophilic surface, and the viscosity normal to the surface of the water film of 4 Å is 0.005 26 Pa⋅S, which is 6.12 times the reference value of viscosity at 298 K. In the process of water film evaporation, the evaporation flux of the water film is influenced by viscosity. In the study of the shale gas transport mechanism, water films in inorganic nanopores can hinder the surface diffusion of the methane molecules adsorbed on boundary and significantly reduce the mass flux of shale gas.

[PMID: 38516095 PMCID: PMC10952088 DOI: 10.1039/d3sc05828j] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2023] [Accepted: 02/12/2024] [Indexed: 03/23/2024] Open
Abstract
The accurate representation of the structural and dynamical properties of water is essential for simulating the unique behavior of this ubiquitous solvent. Here we assess the current status of describing liquid water using ab initio molecular dynamics, with a special focus on the performance of all the later generation Minnesota functionals. Findings are contextualized within the current knowledge on DFT for describing bulk water under ambient conditions and compared to experimental data. We find that, contrary to the prevalent idea that local and semilocal functionals overstructure water and underestimate dynamical properties, M06-L, revM06-L, and M11-L understructure water, while MN12-L and MN15-L overdistance water molecules due to weak cohesive effects. This can be attributed to a weakening of the hydrogen bond network, which leads to dynamical fingerprints that are over fast. While most of the hybrid Minnesota functionals (M06, M08-HX, M08-SO, M11, MN12-SX, and MN15) also yield understructured water, their dynamical properties generally improve over their semilocal counterparts. It emerges that exact exchange is a crucial component for accurately describing hydrogen bonds, which ultimately leads to corrections in both the dynamical and structural properties. However, an excessive amount of exact exchange strengthens hydrogen bonds and causes overstructuring and slow dynamics (M06-HF). As a compromise, M06-2X is the best performing Minnesota functional for water, and its D3 corrected variant shows very good structural agreement. From previous studies considering nuclear quantum effects (NQEs), the hybrid revPBE0-D3, and the rung-5 RPA (RPA@PBE) have been identified as the only two approximations that closely agree with experiments. Our results suggest that the M06-2X(-D3) functionals have the potential to further improve the reproduction of experimental properties when incorporating NQEs through path integral approaches. This work provides further proof that accurate modeling of water interactions requires the inclusion of both exact exchange and balanced (non-local) correlation, highlighting the need for higher rungs on Jacob's ladder to achieve predictive simulations of complex biological systems in aqueous environments.

Abstract
In this study, we use molecular dynamics simulations of liquid water to investigate how shear thinning affects the viscosity of liquid water by structural changes of the hydrogen bond network. The effect of shear on viscosity can be divided into two parts: shear-induced destruction of the hydrogen bond network and the influence of the water structure on shear viscosity. First, strong shear destroys tetrahedral structures and thus reduces the connectivity of the hydrogen bond network. It is mainly because shear deformation, characterized by compression and expansion axes, respectively, triggers the destruction and formation of hydrogen bonds, resulting in anisotropic effects on water structures. At the same time, shear destroys large clusters and enhances the formation of small ones, resulting in a decrease in average cluster sizes. Second, the change of viscosity obeys a power law relationship with the change of hydrogen bond structures, highlighting a one-to-one correspondence between structure and property. Meanwhile, in order to explain why the structure affects viscosity, we define hydrogen-bond viscosity and find that the cooperative motion of the water structures can promote momentum transfer in the form of aggregations. Hydrogen-bond viscosity accounts for 5%-50% of the total viscosity. Our results elucidate that water structures are the important structural units to explain the change of water properties.

Abstract
(1) Background: New technologies involving gas hydrates under pre-nucleation conditions such as gas separations and storage have become more prominent. This has necessitated the characterization and modeling of the transport properties of such systems. (2) Methodology: This work explored methane hydrate systems under pre-nucleation conditions. All-atom molecular dynamics simulations were used to quantify the performance of the TIP4P/2005 and TIP4P/Ice water models to predict the viscosity, diffusivity, and thermal conductivity using various formulations. (3) Results: Molecular simulation equilibrium was robustly demonstrated using various measures. The Green–Kubo estimation of viscosity outperformed other formulations when combined with TIP4P/Ice, and the same combination outperformed all TIP4P/2005 formulations. The Green–Kubo TIP4P/Ice estimation of viscosity overestimates (by 84% on average) the viscosity of methane hydrate systems under pre-nucleation conditions across all pressures considered (0–5 MPag). The presence of methane was found to increase the average number of hydrogen bonds over time (6.7–7.8%). TIP4P/Ice methane systems were also found to have 16–19% longer hydrogen bond lifetimes over pure water systems. (4) Conclusion: An inherent limitation in the current water force field for its application in the context of transport properties estimations for methane gas hydrate systems. A re-parametrization of the current force field is suggested as a starting point. Until then, this work may serve as a characterization of the deviance in viscosity prediction.

Abstract
Solid lubricants have received substantial attention due to their excellent frictional properties. Among others, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is one of the most studied lubricants. Humidity results in a deterioration of the frictional properties of MoS2. The actual mechanism at the nanoscale is still under debate, although there are indications that chemical reactions are not likely to occur in defect-free structures. In this study, we performed nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations to study the frictional properties of multilayer MoS2 during sliding in the presence of water. Moreover, we also investigated the effect of sliding speed and normal load. We confirmed earlier results that a thin layer of water organizes as a solidified, ice-like network of hydrogen bonds as a result of being confined in a two-dimensional fashion between MoS2. Moreover, we found that there exists an energy-driven, rotational dependence of the water network atop/beneath MoS2. This orientational anisotropy is directly related to the dissipative character of MoS2 during sliding. Finally, three distinct frictional regimes were identified, two for a thin layer of water and one for bulk water. In the case of a thin layer and low coverage, water represents a solid-like contaminant, causing high energy dissipation. For a thin layer and high coverage, water starts to act as a solid-like lubricant, reducing dissipation during sliding. Finally, a regime where water acts as a liquid lubricant, characterized by a clear velocity dependence was found.

Abstract
The aggregation of dyes is a common phenomenon in solutions, particularly concentrated solutions, which seriously affects the dyeing and printing processes. In this study, the effects of alkylamine solvents on the reactive dye aggregation behavior in highly concentrated solutions was studied. Typical cases were conducted with two slightly toxic and environmentally friendly solvents, namely diethanolamine (DEA) and triethanolamine (TEA), and two reactive dyes, namely C. I. Reactive Red 218 (R-218) and C. I. Reactive Orange 13 (O-13). Aggregation states were studied by ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption spectroscopy, Gaussian-peak-fitting method and fluorescence spectroscopy. The results showed that both the additives DEA and TEA could reduce the dye aggregation because the solvents, DEA and TEA, can break the iceberg structure and allow easy entry of the molecules into the dye aggregates. Also, the disaggregation caused by DEA was higher as compared with TEA, which may be caused by the weaker hydrogen bond and the relatively smaller steric hindrance effects of DEA. The schematic of disaggregation between R-218 and DEA was also discussed. For R-218, the dimers were disaggregated to monomer, while the higher-ordered aggregates were disaggregated to trimers and dimers for O-13. Moreover, physical properties such as viscosity and surface tension of the solutions were measured. This investigation is instructive for the further dyeing progress with organic bases in the textile industries.
