Structural and mechanical stability of clathrate hydrates encapsulating monoatomic guest species

Ke Xu et al.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of guest molecule size and interaction strength with water molecule on the structural and mechanical stability of clathrate hydrates using classical molecular dynamics simulations. The results show that the lattice constant and mechanical properties of clathrate hydrates vary nonlinearly with increasing guest size or interaction strength. The findings provide critical insights into the properties that depend on guest size and interaction strength.

Role of mechanical deformation in the thermal transport of sl-type methane hydrate

Ke Xu et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of mechanical strain on the thermal conductivity of sl-type methane hydrate using molecular dynamics simulations. The results show that methane hydrate exhibits a reduction in thermal conductivity under triaxial tension and compression, with a maximum reduction of over 44%. Interestingly, a sudden rise in thermal conductivity is observed at a critical triaxial strain of 0.06.

Strengthening and weakening of methane hydrate by water vacancies

Yanwen Lin et al.

Summary: Gas clathrate hydrates have promising applications in sustainable technologies. This study explores the mechanical properties of sI methane hydrates with different types of water vacancy, revealing that the tensile strength of methane hydrates can be weakened or strengthened depending on the water model and water vacancy density. The strength enhancement is mainly due to the formation of new water cages.

Tensile properties of structural I clathrate hydrates: Role of guest-host hydrogen bonding ability

Yue Xin et al.

Summary: Mechanical properties of clathrate hydrates are influenced by the ability of host-guest molecules to form hydrogen bonds and the polarity of guest molecules, with structures containing guests with weak hydrogen bonding ability exhibiting brittle failure, while structures entrapping guests with strong hydrogen bonding ability showing ductile failure.

Unraveling Adhesion Strength between Gas Hydrate and Solid Surfaces

Rui Ma et al.

Summary: In this study, large-scale molecular simulations were used to investigate the adhesion of hydrates on solid surfaces, focusing on the atomistic structures of the intermediate layer and their impact on adhesion. The results revealed that the structure of the intermediate layer is a competitive equilibrium of induced growth from both sides, regulated by the content of guest molecules. By comparing the fracture behaviors of hydrate-solid surface systems with different intermediate structures, it was found that the adhesion strength is determined by the lattice areal density of water structure and the adsorption of guest molecules on the interface. Further analysis of adhesion strength distribution showed significant differences in adhesion among different water structures like ice and hydrate, with ice having approximately five times the adhesion strength compared to the lowest hydrate adhesion strength, consistent with experimental results.
