Applications of clathrate hydrate require fast formation kinetics of it, which is the long-
standing technological bottleneck due to mass transfer and heat transfer limitations …

Similar to ice, the crystalline structure of hydrates does not involve contaminants diffused in
the aqueous phase. In this study, carbon dioxide hydrates were formed in demineralised …

The heterogeneous nucleation of ice is an important atmospheric process facilitated by a
wide range of aerosols. Drop-freezing experiments are key for the determination of the ice …

Ice nucleation and formation play pivotal roles across various domains, from environmental
science to food engineering. However, the exact ice formation mechanisms remain …

Homogeneous nucleation is the prominent mechanism of glaciation in cirrus and other high-
altitude clouds. Ice nucleation rates can be studied in laboratory assays that gradually lower …

CO 2 hydrate has promising applications like carbon capture and storage (CCS). However,
the slow formation kinetics hinders these large-scale applications. Dry water, a water-in-gas …

Similarly to ice, gas hydrates can be used to purify water from contaminants. The removal
efficiency depends of several parameters, such as the chemical composition of the …

Salts are known to be thermodynamic inhibitors of gas hydrates at high concentrations by
lowering the activity of water and shifting the phase boundary of gas hydrates to lower …

Ice nucleation is the initial step of ice formation that has significant impact on global climate,
several engineering and structural surfaces and other systems like clathrate hydrates. The …

Electrolytes have been used as thermodynamic ice inhibitors since they can depress the
melting point of ice by lowering the activity of water. However, the kinetic aspects of …
