Understanding effect of structure and stability on transformation of CH4 hydrate to CO2 hydrate

- CH4 molecules are likely to reside in 512 cages rather than 51262 cages.
- CO2 molecules are likely to reside in 51262 cages rather than 512 cages.
- CO2 has smaller interaction energy than CH4 in the same cage.
- The entropy dominates the transformation of CH4 hydrate into CO2 hydrate.
- In the same cage CO2 molecules move much slowly than CH4 molecules.
