Research progress on the microscopic mechanism and analytical methods of gas hydrate formation

Hydrate technology has broad application prospects in the fields of energy and climate, and is expected to become a key technology for addressing energy challenges and climate change. However, the current technology has the disadvantages of slow hydrate formation rate and low gas consumption, which limits the industrial development of hydrate technology. In this paper, from the perspective of microscopic mechanism, the theoretical viewpoints on the formation mechanism of gas hydrates are reviewed and summarized, and the effects of driving force and gas solubility on the nucleation process of hydrates are briefly described. The influence mechanism of surfactants and nanoparticles on hydrate formation and the commonly used microscopic analysis techniques are introduced. It is found that the formation mechanism of gas hydrate is not yet unified, and the research on the action mechanism of accelerator is not enough. It is difficult to capture the molecular behavior of gas hydrate in micro-state by the existing micro-analysis methods. These problems limit the development of hydrate technology to be faster and more efficient. Exploring the relevant mechanism of hydrate technology, understanding the working principles of various influencing factors and exploring new analytical means will be helpful to break through the bottleneck of hydrate technology and search for an accelerator with better performance, a way to synthesize hydrates more efficiently.
