This study addresses these challenges by designing Ni/CeO<sub>2</sub> catalysts with controlled Ni nanoparticle sizes. By varying calcination temperatures, selecting different calcination atmospheres, and comparing preparation methods (equal-volume impregnation vs. combustion method), a series of Ni-based catalysts with different particle sizes were synthesized. The physicochemical properties of the catalysts were elucidated through various characterization techniques. ICP-OES confirmed that the actual Ni loading closely matched the nominal value. XRD and TEM analyses verified that the combustion method yielded smaller NiO nanoparticles with higher dispersion compared to the impregnation method. This advantage stems from the rapid, self-sustaining redox reaction in the combustion process, which effectively inhibits NiO nuclei migration and agglomeration. Consequently, catalysts prepared by the combustion method exhibited superior catalytic activity and stability in DRM. The enhanced performance is directly linked to the smaller Ni particle size, which provides a greater number of active sites and promotes stronger metal-support interactions, thereby improving resistance to sintering and carbon deposition. Furthermore, kinetic studies showed that the smaller Ni nanoparticles were more active, possessing a lower apparent activation energy for methane reforming than the larger particles.

Ensuring the safe, long-term CO<sub>2</sub> storage in geological formations requires accurate modelling of geochemical reactions between CO<sub>2</sub>-saturated water and rock-forming minerals. Reactive-transport simulators represent these processes over extended timescales, but geochemical equilibrium must first be established, analogous to gravitational equilibrium in pressure initialization. This study presents a practical workflow for synthesizing equilibrated CO<sub>2</sub>-rock-water systems, demonstrated for the Bunter Sandstone Formation. To ensure realistic initial pressure distributions that govern pressure-dependent trapping processes, gravitational equilibrium was first established. The mineralogy was then engineered to maintain a non-negative degree of freedom for chemically consistent equilibrium calculations. Long-term batch simulations using ideal, extended Debye-Huckel, and Pitzer activity models revealed significant discrepancies between activity-model-based equilibrium concentrations and short-term laboratory values, even though predictions of salinity and pH were consistent. These discrepancies highlight the importance of deriving equilibrium concentrations from long-term simulations for chemical initialization, as short-term laboratory measurements may not reflect true equilibrium conditions. The Pitzer model provided the most accurate predictions under high salinity but increased simulation time by over 100%, whereas the extended Debye-Huckel model required only 30% additional time but neglected short-range ionic interactions. The reduced-salinity scenario decreased equilibrium concentrations by approximately 20–100%, enhancing CO<sub>2</sub> dissolution and promoting mineral dissolution, thereby influencing structural, solubility, and mineral trapping mechanisms. These findings underscore the importance of careful activity model selection and accurate salinity characterization to balance computational efficiency with predictive accuracy and improve confidence in equilibrium predictions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100568,"journal":{"name":"Gas Science and Engineering","volume":"145 ","pages":"Article 205792"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145222285","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Heterogeneities are weak zones, and their presence reduces the reservoir rock's strength while intensifying its mechanical degradation from biogeochemical reactions and cyclic loading during underground hydrogen storage (UHS). Different accessory minerals introduce mineralogical heterogeneity to the reservoir rock. Their geochemical reactions with injected hydrogen cause mineral dissolution/precipitation, altering the rock structure and affecting its mechanical integrity. Concurrently, cyclic hydrogen injection and production periodically vary the reservoir rock's effective stress, creating local stress concentrations in its heterogeneous structures and accelerating rock failure. Faults, a key structural heterogeneity in the reservoirs, can be reactivated by increased pore pressure from hydrogen injection, inducing seismicity. Fault slip risk is also increased by water from microbial reactions in UHS, which lubricates the faults, reducing the fault's friction and shear strength. Beyond amplifying the mechanical weakening, heterogeneities make the reservoir rock's mechanical response complex and unpredictable. The mechanical integrity of the reservoir rock during UHS, concerning its heterogeneous nature, remains under-explored.
