These include: · Fuel cell, crucial to continuing performance of downhole monitoring tools in the absence of conventional power supply from the wellsite. A new oxygen reduction reaction catalyst system PEM fuel cell based on non-precious metal materials, the very 1st in the world, gained community wide recognition and interests (J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2010, 132(45), 15839, citations >130). · One of the most promising options of mitigating increasing concentration of atmospheric CO2 is to inject it back to downhole saline aquifer reservoir. A state of the art sensor device was developed using mid-IR interrogation via attenuated total reflection, ideal for vigorous monitoring of CO2 in water, an otherwise challenge to IR sensor. · Colorimetric monitoring of gaseous compounds using silicate nano-dispersion substrate as template. The device was installed onto a downhole tool platform for continuing service. · Cobalt oxide nanoparticle based GTL catalyst surpasses the performance of commercial catalyst in terms of turnover efficiency and life cycle.
