英文摘要 | Methane clathrate hydrate (MCH) is a promising energy resource, but controllable extraction of CH4 from MCH remains a challenge. Gradually replacing CH4 in MCH with CO2 is an attractive scheme, as it is cost efficient and mitigates the environmentally harmful effects of CO2 by sequestration. However, the practicable implementation of this method has not yet been achieved. In this study, using in situ neutron diffraction, we confirm that CH4 in the 5(12)6(2) cages of bulk structure-I (sI) MCH can be substituted by gaseous CO2 under high pressure and low temperature with a high substitution ratio (similar to 44%) while conserving the structure of the hydrate framework. First-principles calculations indicate that CO2 binds more strongly to the 5(12)6(2) cages than methane does, and that the diffusion barrier for CH4 is significantly lowered by an intermediate state in which one hydrate cage is doubly occupied by CH4 and CO2. Therefore, exchange of CO2 for CH4 in MCH is not only energetically favorable but also kinetically feasible. Experimental and theoretical studies of CH4/CO2 substitution elucidate a method to harness energy from these combustible ice resources. |
