“…The results were satisfactory and showed the possible use against accidental oil spillage or diffusion that could be detrimental to the environment. Pertaining to oil recovery, another study by Fan et al [162] synthesized and analyzed the oil recovery factor for polymernanosilica, polymer and water flooding. The oil recovery factor for polymer-nanosilica was shown to be highest with 65% compared to polymer 55% and water flooding as 50% respectively (Figure 10).…”

Silica nanoparticles (SNPs) have shown great applicability potential in a number of fields like chemical, biomedical, biotechnology, agriculture, environmental remediation and even wastewater purification. With remarkably instinctive properties like mesoporous structure, high surface area, tunable pore size/diameter, biocompatibility, modifiability and polymeric hybridizability, the SNPs are growing in their applicable potential even further. These particles are shown to be non-toxic in nature, hence safe to be used in biomedical research. Moreover, the molecular mobilizability onto the internal and external surface of the particles makes them excellent carriers for biotic and non-biotic compounds. In this respect, the present study comprehensively reviews the most important and recent applications of SNPs in a number of fields along with synthetic approaches. Moreover, despite versatile contributions, the applicable potential of SNPs is still a tip of the iceberg waiting to be exploited more, hence, the last section of the review presents the future prospects containing only few of the many gaps/research extensions regarding SNPs that need to be addressed in future work.

Despite rapid advances in renewable energy extraction and utilization, global oil demand continues to rise. Oil displacement technologies are widely studied and applied because they can extract more oil in depleted reservoirs or recover unconventional ones. This study introduces research methods and mechanisms of four oil displacement technologies, i.e., water flooding, chemical flooding, gas flooding, and steam flooding. Although oil displacement technologies are helping to meet the growing demand for oil and energy, there are still some challenges for industrial applications. Some agents adopted in the oil displacement have shortcomings in the corrosion of mining equipment and damage to the reservoir structure. Therefore, solutions to the problem are crucial and are investigated widely in the literature using experiments and simulations. For experimental research, a diffusion framework for studying mass transfer in the oil displacement process and an experimental system for simulating oil displacement in offshore reservoirs should be built, which will facilitate the widespread industrial application of oil displacement technology. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the accuracy and expand the application range of the experimental system. As for numerical simulation, reaction kinetics research is essential for selecting displacement agent materials and preventing harmful gas leakage for industrial applications. However, the dynamics of foam flooding and CO2 flooding are not thoroughly studied. Moreover, it is an acceptable research topic that reducing the uncertainty of discrete regions is an effective method to improve the accuracy of numerical simulation results. For the broader application of oil displacement technology to industry, several mechanisms regarding the research field could be studied more thoroughly and comprehensively in the future, i.e., (1) the influence mechanisms of some impurities and complex reservoir physical properties, (2) the method of combining various oil displacement technologies, (3) the T-H-M-C multifield coupling oil displacement mechanism at micro/nanoscale, (4) the cement failure mechanism caused by CO2 and H2S, and (5) the tube brittle fracture mechanism caused by stress corrosion. For the sustainable development and efficient utilization of oil displacement, this review summarizes the extensive information about four oil displacement technologies, thus encouraging and providing research topics for further development and applications.
