Abstract
The application of hydraulic fracturing stimulation technology to improve the productivity of unconventional oil and gas reservoirs is a well-established practice. With the increasing exploration and development of unconventional oil and gas resources, the associated geological conditions and physical properties are gradually becoming more and more complex. Therefore, it is necessary to develop technologies that can improve the development benefits to meet these challenges. In recent years, improving the effect of hydraulic fracturing stimulation in unconventional oil and gas reservoirs through the use of nanomaterials and technologies has attracted increasing attention. In this paper, we review the current status and research progress of the application of nanomaterials and technologies in various aspects of hydraulic fracturing in unconventional oil and gas reservoirs, expound the mechanism and advantages of these nanomaterials and technologies in detail, and provide future research directions. The reviewed literature indicates that nanomaterials and technologies show exciting potential applications in the hydraulic fracturing of unconventional reservoirs; for example, the sand-carrying and rheological properties of fracturing fluids can be significantly enhanced through the addition of nanomaterials. The use of nanomaterials to modify proppants can improve their compressive strength, thus meeting the needs of different reservoir conditions. The fracturing flowback fluid treatment efficiency and purification effect can be improved through the use of nanophotocatalysis and nanomembrane technologies, while degradable fracturing completion tools developed based on nanomaterials can effectively improve the efficiency of fracturing operations. Nanorobots and magnetic nanoparticles can be used to more efficiently monitor hydraulic fracturing and to accurately map the hydraulic fracture morphology. However, due to the complex preparation process and high cost of nanomaterials, more work is needed to fully investigate the application mechanisms of nanomaterials and technologies, as well as to evaluate the economic feasibility of these exciting technologies. The main research objective of this review is to comprehensively summarize the application and research progress of nanomaterials and technologies in various aspects of hydraulic fracturing in unconventional oil and gas reservoirs, analyze the existing problems and challenges, and propose some targeted forward-looking recommendations, which may be helpful for future research and applications.

RSC Adv 2022; 12:21836-21850.

Abstract
Arsenic (As) as a metal ion has long-term toxicity and its presence in water poses a serious threat to the environment and human health. So, rapid and accurate recognition of traces of As is of particular importance in environmental and natural resources. In this study, a fast and sensitive colorimetric method was developed using silver nano prisms (Ag NPrs), cysteine-capped Ag NPrs, and methionine-capped Ag NPrs for accurate detection of arsenic-based on transforming the morphology of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The generated Ag atoms from the redox reaction of silver nitrate and As(iii) were deposited on the surface of Ag NPrs and their morphology changed to a circle. The morphological changes resulted in a change in the color of the nanoparticles from blue to purple, which was detectable by the naked eye. The rate of change was proportional to the concentration of arsenic. The changes were also confirmed using UV-Vis absorption spectra and showed a linear relationship between the change in adsorption peak and the concentration of arsenic in the range of 0.0005 to 1 ppm with a lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) of 0.0005 ppm. The proposed probes were successfully used to determine the amount of As(iii) in human urine samples. In addition, modified microfluidic substrates were fabricated with Ag NPrs, Cys-capped Ag NPrs, and methionine-capped Ag NPrs nanoparticles that are capable of arsenic detection in the long-time and can be used in the development of on-site As(iii) detection kits. In addition, silver nanowires (AgNWs) were used as a probe to detect arsenic, but good results were not obtained in human urine specimens and paper microfluidic platforms. In this study, for the first time, AgNPs were developed for optical colorimetric detection of arsenic using paper-based microfluidics. Ag NPrs performed best in both optical and colorimetric techniques. Therefore, they can be a promising option for the development of sensitive, inexpensive, and portable tools in the environmental and biomedical diagnosis of As(iii).

Abstract
Pickering foams are available in many applications and have been continually gaining interest in the last two decades. Pickering foams are multifaceted, and their characteristics are highly dependent on many factors, such as particle size, charge, hydrophobicity and concentration as well as the charge and concentration of surfactants and salts available in the system. A literature review of these individual studies at first might seem confusing and somewhat contradictory, particularly in multi-component systems with particles and surfactants with different charges in the presence of salts. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of particle-stabilized foams, also known as Pickering foams and froths. Underlying mechanisms of foam stabilization by particles with different morphology, surface chemistry, size and type are reviewed and clarified. This paper also outlines the role of salts and different factors such as pH, temperature and gas type on Pickering foams. Further, we highlight recent developments in Pickering foams in different applications such as food, mining, oil and gas, and wastewater treatment industries, where Pickering foams are abundant. We conclude this overview by presenting important research avenues based on the gaps identified here. The focus of this review is limited to Pickering foams of surfactants with added salts and does not include studies on polymers, proteins, or other macromolecules.
