04 Sep Measuring The Layer Charge Of Dioctahedral Smectite By O-D Vibrational Spectroscopy
Layer charge (LC) is a fundamental property of smectite but its measurement remains challenging and tedious to apply on a high-throughput basis. The present study demonstrates that the position of a sharp, high-energy O-D stretching band of adsorbed D2O (vO-D, at ~2686-2700 cm-1 ), determined...
