Atomistic-geometric simulations to investigate the mechanical stability of monocrystalline sI methane hydrates under pressure

Abstract Gas hydrate mechanical stability under pressure is critically important in energy supply, global warming, and carbon-neutral technologies. The stability of these polyhedral guest–host crystals under increasing pressure is affected by host cage type and face connectivity as well as guest gas...
