Abstract
Clathrate hydrates, or cages comprised solely of water molecules, have long been investigated as a clean storage facility for hydrogen molecules. A breakthrough occurred when hydrogen molecules were experimentally placed within a structure-II clathrate hydrate, which sparked much interest to determine their feasibility for energy storage [Mao et al., Science 297, 2247-2249 (2002)]. We use Path Integral Molecular Dynamics (PIMD) and Langevin equation Path Integral Ground State (LePIGS) for finite temperature and zero-temperature studies, respectively, to determine parahydrogen occupancy properties in the small dodecahedral (512) and large hexakaidecahedral (51264) sized cages that comprise the structure-II unit cell. We look at energetic and structural properties of small clusters of hydrogen, treated as point-like particles, confined within each of the different sized clathrates, and treated as rigid, to determine energetic and structural properties in the zero-temperature limit. Our predicted hydrogen occupancy within these two cage sizes is consistent with previous literature values. We then calculate the energies as a function of temperature and merge the low temperature results calculated using finite temperature PIMD with the zero-temperature results using LePIGS, demonstrating that the two methods are compatible.

Abstract
We overview our recent developments on a computational approach addressing quantum confinement of light atomic and molecular clusters (made of atomic helium and molecular hydrogen) in carbon nanotubes. We outline a multi-scale first-principles approach, based on density functional theory (DFT)-based symmetry-adapted perturbation theory, allowing an accurate characterization of the dispersion-dominated particle–nanotube interaction. Next, we describe a wave-function-based method, allowing rigorous fully coupled quantum calculations of the pseudo-nuclear bound states. The approach is illustrated by showing the transition from molecular aggregation to quasi-one-dimensional condensed matter systems of molecular deuterium and hydrogen as well as atomic 4He, as case studies. Finally, we present a perspective on future-oriented mixed approaches combining, e.g., orbital-free helium density functional theory (He-DFT), machine-learning parameterizations, with wave-function-based descriptions.

Abstract
It is predicted herewith that the leakage of both hydrogen (H2) and deuterium (D2) from sII clathrate hydrates, borne of guest chemical-potential equalization driving enhanced nonequilibrium intercage hopping, should be observable experimentally. To this end, we have designed simulations to realize and study this process by microsecond molecular dynamics within the temperature range of 150-180 K-for which the hydrate lattice was found to be stable. In this pursuit, we considered initial large-cage (51264) guest occupancies of 1-4, with single occupation of 512 cavities. Examining transient, nonequilibrium intercage hopping, we present a lattice-escape activation energy for the four nominal large-cage occupancies (1-4), by fitting to the hydrate-leakage rate. The intercage hopping of H2 and D2 was studied using Markov-chain models and expressed at different temperatures and large-cage occupancies. The free energy of guest "binding" in the large and small cages was also computed for all of the occupancies. Toward equilibrium, following the majority of H2/D2 escape via leakage, the percentage of occupancies was calculated for both H2 and D2 for all of the systems for all initial nominal large-cage occupancies; here, not unexpectedly, double occupancies occurred more favorably in large cages and single occupancies dominated in small cages.

Abstract
Density functional theory calculations and molecular dynamics simulations were performed to investigate the hydrogen storage capacity in the sII hydrate. Calculation results show that the optimum hydrogen storage capacity is ~5.6 wt%, with the double occupancy in the small cage and quintuple occupancy in the large cage. Molecular dynamics simulations indicate that these multiple occupied hydrogen hydrates can occur at mild conditions, and their stability will be further enhanced by increasing the pressure or decreasing the temperature. Our work highlights that the hydrate is a promising material for storing hydrogen.

Abstract
We systematically investigate the manifestations of the condensed-phase environment of the structure II clathrate hydrate in the translation-rotation (TR) dynamics and the inelastic neutron scattering (INS) spectra of an H2 molecule confined in the small dodecahedral cage of the hydrate. The aim is to elucidate the extent to which these properties are affected by the clathrate water molecules beyond the confining cage and the proton disorder of the water framework. For this purpose, quantum calculations of the TR eigenstates and INS spectra are performed for H2 inside spherical clathrate domains of gradually increasing radius and the number of water molecules ranging from 20 for the isolated small cage to more than 1800. For each domain size, several hundred distinct hydrogen-bonding topologies are constructed in order to simulate the effects of the proton disorder. Our study reveals that the clathrate-induced splittings of the j = 1 rotational level and the translational fundamental of the guest H2 are influenced by the condensed-phase environment to a dramatically different degree, the former very strongly and the latter only weakly.

Abstract
The quantal translation-rotation (TR) states of the (p-H2)4@5(12)6(4) and (o-D2)4@5(12)6(4) hydrate clathrate sII inclusion compounds have been computed by nuclear-orbital/configuration-interaction methods. The model of these compounds in a rigid, high-symmetry 5(12)6(4) cage is treated in detail. The low-energy TR level structures of both isotopomers within this model are found to consist of states that can be readily described in terms of a small number of single-H2 and double-H2 excitation modes. The use of the high-symmetry results to facilitate the calculation and interpretation of (p-H2)4 and (o-D2)4 TR states in low-symmetry physically realizable 5(12)6(4) cages is also reported.

Abstract
Classical equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations have been performed to investigate the diffusive properties of inter-cage hydrogen migration in both pure hydrogen and mixed hydrogen-tetrahydrofuran sII hydrates at 0.05 kbar from 200 K and up to 250-260 K. For mixed H2-THF systems in which there is single H2 occupation of the small cage (labelled "1S1L"), we found that no H2 migration occurs. However, for more densely filled H2-THF and pure-H2 systems, in which there is more than single H2 occupation in the small cage, there is an onset of inter-cage H2 migration events from the small cages to neighbouring cavities at around 200 K. The mean square displacements of the hydrogen molecules were fitted to a mathematical model consisting of an anomalous term and a Fickian component, and nonlinear regression fitting was conducted to estimate long-time (inter-cage) diffusivities. An approximate Arrhenius temperature relationship for the diffusion coefficient was examined and an estimation of the hydrogen hopping energy barrier was calculated for each system.

Abstract
The Raman spectra of H(2) and HD molecules in simple hydrogen and binary hydrogen-tetrahydrofuran clathrate hydrates have been measured at temperatures as low as 20 K. The rotational bands of trapped molecules in simple and binary hydrates have been analyzed, and the contributions originating from hydrogen molecules in the large cages have been separated from those in the small cages. A theoretical model, consisting in rigid cages enclosing interacting hydrogen molecules, has been exploited to calculate, on the basis of quantum mechanics, the Raman intensity of the rotational transitions for up to two interacting molecules in one cage. A comparison with experiment leads to a clear interpretation of sidebands appearing in the Raman rotational lines. The quantitative agreement between theory and experiment obtained in some cases clarifies the importance of the choice of the interaction potential, and of the proton disorder in the clathrate crystal.

Abstract
We use ab initio molecular dynamics simulations to obtain classically the effects of H2O cage motions on the potential-energy surface (PES) of encapsulated H2 in the H2/tetrahydrofuran-hydrate system. The significant differences between the PES for the H2 in rigid and flexible cages that we find will influence calculation of the quantum dynamics of the H2. Part of these differences arises from the relaxation of the H2O cage around the classical H2, with a second part arising from the coupling of both translational and rotational motions of H2 with the H20 cage. We find that isotopic substitution of 2H for 1H of the H2O cage affects the coupling, which has implications for experiments that require the use of 2H2O, including inelastic neutron scattering that uses 2H2O cages in order to focus on the H2 guest dynamics. Overall, this work emphasizes the importance of taking into account cage dynamics in any approach used to understand the dynamics of H2 guests in porous framework materials.
