This review investigates hydrothermal synthesis of metal selenides and diselenides. Briefly,
structures, applications and formation mechanisms are studied. The strategies for …

Modification of saponite (Sap) by surface engineering and intercalation chemistry introduces
guest species into the structure of Sap and enhances the functionalities of the resultant Sap …

The fabrication of zinc sulfide (ZnS) and cadmium sulfide (CdS) hybrids was carried out by
the sulfidization of Zn (II) or Cd (II) adsorbed in dodecylsulfate modified CoAl-layered double …

Interactions between organic acids and clay minerals significantly influence elemental cycle
on Earth. Oxalic acid has been recognized as one of the most important secretions of soil …

Smectite is widely used in many industrial fields and material applications. Although the high
phase purity and yield of synthetic smectite are paramount for advanced applications, few …

The control of size and size distribution of semiconducting materials has easily carried out
by intercalating in clay minerals with tailoring optical properties and activities. The solid …

Synthetic saponite (Sap) easily delaminates in water to form a transparent sol and hydrogel
with excellent rheological performance and is thus widely used in paints, cosmetics, and …

The doping of aluminum (Al 3+) and the co-doping of aluminum (Al 3+)/fluoride (F−) into
cadmium sulfide-montmorillonite were investigated. The Al 3+ doping was achieved by the …

The authors provide the theoretical and experimental justification for the effective methods of
modification of saponite—pillaring and thermal treatment—which ensure production of …

A new synthetic smectite-like vanadosilicate, named Vanadosilicate Araraquara Madrid
(VAM), containing V 3+ was prepared by a hydrothermal method and its behavior as catalyst …
