Probing the critical nucleus size in tetrahydrofuran clathrate hydrate formation using surface-anchored nanoparticles

Abstract Controlling the formation of clathrate hydrates is crucial for advancing hydrate-based technologies. However, the microscopic mechanism underlying clathrate hydrate formation through nucleation remains poorly elucidated. Specifically, the critical nucleus, theorized as a pivotal step in nuc...
