“…In addition, the QAS semiclathrates have small 5 12 cages which are left vacant and thus, can be used for capturing small-sized gas molecules [19,22,23,[25][26][27][28][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41]. Due to their significant thermodynamic stability and guest gas enclathrating ability, QAS semiclathrates have been investigated as an alternative to gas hydrates for gas storage and separation [23,27,31,[42][43][44][45][46][47][48].…”
