Chapter 9 X-Ray Diffraction Techniques

An integrated experimental and theoretical approach to probe Cr(vi) uptake using decorated halloysite nanotubes for efficient water treatment

“…29-1487. 80 Relative to the pristine HNTs (H), the positions of the diffraction peaks for the four functionalized HNTs proles (H1-H4) remain largely consistent, indicating that the crystalline structure of the HNTs remains intact post-surface functionalization, with no discernible shi in the diffraction peaks. Nonetheless, there is a noticeable reduction in the intensity of the diffraction peaks in the H1-H4 samples compared to H, suggesting that the outer surface of the halloysite nanotubes underwent successful modication.…”
