Methane hydrate nucleation frustration and dimensional reduction of structural order under nanoconfinement

\'Angel M. Fern\'andez-Fern\'andez, Jose Torres-Arenas, Manuel M. Pi\~neiro, Mart\'in P\'erez-Rodr\'iguez

Nanoconfinement below 2 nm suppresses three-dimensional hydrate-like ordering in water-methane mixtures while promoting two-dimensional in-plane correlations.

Claims

C1strongest claim

Three-dimensional radial distribution functions reveal a clear suppression of hydrate-like ordering at strong confinement (below 2 nm), indicating frustrated nucleation. In contrast, projected two-dimensional correlations exhibit pronounced in-plane structural organization, evidencing a confinement-induced reduction in the dimensionality of molecular order.

C2weakest assumption

That changes in radial distribution functions directly demonstrate frustrated nucleation and a true reduction in dimensionality of order, without independent experimental validation or checks against alternative interpretations of the structural metrics.

C3one line summary

Nanoconfinement below 2 nm in silica slits suppresses 3D hydrate-like ordering in water-methane systems while enhancing 2D in-plane structural correlations.
