Abstract:Despite the extensive study of two-dimensional layered KNb3O8 (KN), there still remains some vital problems need to be clarified for future applications in environmental purification. Here we demonstrated the successful preparation of interlayer-controlled KN nanoflakes using alkaline hydrothermal conditions by adjusting the amount of thiourea in the reaction. This process resulted in KN nanoflakes with a larger specific surface area than previously reported. Moreover, the initial pH of dye solution and discre… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
