Abstract

Gas hydrates have been considered promising in gas storage, gas separation, and water desalination. The hydrates' technical application is affected by the long kinetics time. Of interest is gas hydrates show strong facilitation in dissociated water containing a high concentration of micro-nanobubbles. Here, it was discovered that the nano-particles present in the dissociated water were identified as nano-bubbles, characterized by nanoparticle track analyzer and infrared spectrum. The presence of bubbles increased the nucleation probability, likely attributed to the provision of nucleation sites. Results indicated that the ability of facilitation was related to the nanobubble types: the bubble solution with the same guest molecules exhibited similar facilitation to dissociated water; specifically, the average induction time was shortened by 27.48 %, the nucleation probability was increased by 50 % compared to deionized water. Moreover, the time hydrate filled the field of view with high bubble concentration was reduced by 60 % compared with low bubble concentration. The facilitation effect mechanism could be related to the presence of gas-dense regions inside the bubbles, based on the Raman results. This finding may offer valuable insights for the application of hydrate-based energy storage technology and shed light on the potential role of bubbles in causing memory effects.
