TL;DR: In this article, a strategy was proposed to construct a pore surface and size functionality gradient in a covalent organic framework, enabling a flux of 600 ǫl l 2 h 2 h 1 with NaCl rejection of 99.99%.

TL;DR: As the typical unconventional reservoir, shale gas is believed to be the most promising alternative for the conventional resources in future energy patterns, attracting more and more attention from the energy industry as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, a modified bin method considering local gas density was proposed to reveal the mass velocity profile of methane gas in nanopores, and the underlying mechanism of gas transport characteristic behaves as the competition between gas intermolecular collisions and gas-wall interactions.

TL;DR: In this paper, a multiscale approach was presented via coupling molecular dynamics simulations, analytical model and pore network model (PNM), which showed that gas transport in organic nanopores manifests a typical slippage feature whereas gas slIPPage breaks down in inorganic nanopores, which should be attributed to the rough potential energy surface (PES) of inorganic walls.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors characterize the transport of shale gas in nanopores and show that the presence of water within shale reservoirs is generally overlooked. But, their work is limited to nanopores.
