Pillared clays and pillared layered solids (Technical Report)

Abstract

Pillaring is a commonly used procedure to transform a layered crystalline inorganic compound into a material with microporosity and mesoporosity. First, the terms layered compound, pillaring, pillaring agent and interlayer region are defined, followed by the terms pillared layered solid or pillared compound. In the second part, the standard characterization methods and procedures and a systematic classification scheme are proposed. © 1999, Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston. All rights reserved.
