Characterization of silanol defect sites on amorphous versus crystalline 2-D silicate surfaces

 · Invited

Abstract

We compare and contrast the nature of silanols on open, two-dimensional surfaces comprising amorphous and crystalline siliceous materials. We compare the thermal treatment of silanols in both sets of materials, using several forms of spectroscopy for characterization. The ramifications of the observed differences on applications will be highlilghted.
