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 …

Empty spaces are abhorred by nature, which immediately rushes in to fill the void. Humans
have learnt pretty well how to make ordered empty nanocontainers, and to get useful …

In this research, saponite pillarization with TiO 2 and photosensitization using a tris (2, 2′-
bipyridyl) dichlororuthenium (II) complex were reported. The materials were characterized by …

Saponite is a trioctahedral 2: 1 smectite with the ideal composition MxMg3AlxSi4− xO10
