Differences in Competitive Adsorption Mechanisms of CH 4 and CO 2 in Mylonitic and Primary Structure Coal

This study utilizes molecular dynamics simulations to demonstrate that mylonitic coal exhibits a significantly stronger competitive adsorption capacity for CO₂ over CH₄ compared to primary structure coal, driven by its unique structural features such as a more complete aromatic ring system, abundant oxygen-containing functional groups, and a higher proportion of ultramicropores.

Graphite-Supported Co-ZrO₂ Catalysts for CO₂ Methanation: Influence of Zirconia Loading on Structure and Catalytic Performance

This study demonstrates that graphite-supported Co-ZrO₂ catalysts with an optimal 10 wt.% zirconia loading achieve superior low-temperature CO₂ methanation performance by balancing cobalt reducibility and metal-support interactions, whereas excessive zirconia loading hinders activity by overly strengthening these interactions.
