This review is intended to introduce recent progress in the characterization, synthesis and
catalysis of hydrotalcite (HT) and HT-related materials. NMR, in situ neutron diffraction and …

As a general-purpose force field for molecular simulations of layered materials and their fluid
interfaces, Clayff continues to see broad usage in atomistic computational modeling for …

Molecular scale understanding of the structure and properties of aqueous interfaces with
clays, metal (oxy-) hydroxides, layered double hydroxides, and other inorganic phases is …

There is still a need for active, selective and stable heterogeneous catalysts for the synthesis
of biodiesel. In this work, magnesium-aluminium hydrotalcites with Mg/Al molar ratios within …

Toward the development of classical force fields for the accurate modeling of clay mineral-
water systems, we have extended the use of metal–O–H (M–O–H) angle bending terms to …

Size, shape, and polymorphic form are the critical attributes of crystalline particles and
represent the major focus of today's crystallization process design. This work demonstrates …

Local hydration structures at the solid–liquid interface around boundary edges on
heterostructures are key to an atomic-level understanding of various physical, chemical and …

Molecular simulations of the adsorption of representative organic molecules onto the basal
surfaces of various clay minerals were used to assess the mechanisms of enhanced oil …

Efficient and selective glucose-to-fructose isomerization is a crucial step in biorefinery,
usually catalyzed by Lewis acid or Brønsted base catalyst. However, inferior selectivity of …

Layered minerals comprise a large fraction of the soils and crustal rocks on Earth, and
knowledge of their anisotropic mechanical properties is essential for many varied …
