Spatial Location of Zerovalent Iron Nanoparticles in Montmorillonite

Abstract:

The spatial location of zerovalent iron nanoparticles hybridized with montmorillonite was identified with easily accessible X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and element analyses. These hybridized nanoparticles are not intercalated into the interlayer space of clay whereas mainly located on the external surface of clay. This result would be of great importance for the sorption-based applications of these heterostructures.
