Clathrate hydrates (CHs) are one of the most promising molecular structures in applications of gas capture and storage,and gas separations.Fundamental knowledge of mechanical characteristics of CHs is of crucial importance for assessing gas storage and separations at cold conditions,as well as under-standing their stability and formation mechanisms.Here,the tensile mechanical properties of structuralⅠ CHs encapsulating a variety of guest species (CH4,NH3,H2S,CH2O,CH3OH,and CH3SH) that have different abilities to form hydrogen (H-) bonds with water molecule are explored by classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations.All investigated CHs are structurally stable clathrate struc-tures.Basic mechanical properties of CHs including tensile limit and Young\'s modulus are dominated by the H-bonding ability of host-guest molecules and the guest molecular polarity.CHs containing small CH4,CH2O and H2S guest molecules that possess weak H-bonding ability are mechanically robust clathrate structures and mechanically destabilized via brittle failure on the (101) plane.How-ever,those entrapping CH3SH,CH3OH,and NH3 that have strong H-bonding ability are mechanically weak molecular structures and mechanically destabilized through ductile failure as a result of gradual global dissociation of clathrate cages.

Simulation of open quantum dynamics for various Hamiltonians and spectral densities are ubiquitous for studying various quantum systems.On a quantum computer,only log2 N qubits are required for the simulation of an N-dimensional quantum system,hence simul
With the rapidly increasing integration density and power density in nanoscale electronic devices,the thermal management concerning heat generation and energy harvesting becornes quite crucial.Since phonon is the major heat carrier in semiconductors,therm
In conventional quantum mechanics,quantum no-deleting and no-cloning theorems indicate that two different and nonorthogonal states cannot be perfectly and deterministically deleted and cloned,re-spectively.Here,we investigate the quantum deleting and clon
氢气具有无毒、能量密度高以及燃烧过程零污染等优点,被誉为是未来代替化石能源的优质新型能源载体.探索高效的、可持续的制氢技术对氢气能源发展至关重要.其中,光电化学水分解电池以太阳能作为驱动力将水分解成氢气和氧气,是解决能源和环境危机的理想途径之一.α-Fe2O3是一种窄带隙(～2.1 eV)半导体,可以吸收约40％的太阳光,同时具有天然丰度高、成本低等优点,是目前备受关注的光阳极材料.然而,由于α-Fe2O3空穴扩散距离短和表面产氧动力学慢等缺点,导致α-Fe2O3的光电分解水效率仍然较低.针对上述问题,目
Alkaline-earth-like (AEL) atoms with two valence electrons and a nonzero nuclear spin can be excited to Rydberg state for quantum computing.Typical AEL ground states possess no hyperfine splitting,but unfortunately a GHz-scale splitting seems necessary fo
The large-scale production of ammonia mainly depends on the Haber-Bosch process,which will lead to the problems of high energy consumption and carbon dioxide emission.Electrochemical nitrogen fixation is considered to be an environmental friendly and sust
Nonlinear heat transfer can be exploited to reveal novel transport phenomena and thus enhance peo-ple\'s ability to manipulate heat flux at will.However,there has not been a mature discipline called nonlinear thermotics like its counterpart in optics or
