Phase diagram of water–methane by first-principles thermodynamics: discovery of MH-IV and MH-V hydrates

We disclose a new dense methane hydrate phases (MH-IV) using the Monte-Carlo packing algorithm and density-functional theory (DFT) optimization, which is superior to previous reported filled ices to apply to energy storage.
