Abstract
Methanol intercalated kaolinite (Kaol) plays an important role in the intercalation, exfoliation, and organic modification of kaolinite nanoclay. However, the evolution of the layer structure of Kaol and its thermodynamic stability during the methanol intercalation process have not been clarified at the atomic level. Here, by combination of density functional theory (DFT) calculation and experimental characterizations, the interlayer bonding, structure evolution, and energetics from dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) intercalated Kaol to methanol intercalated Kaol were investigated. Partial methanol molecules entered the interlayers of Kaol to form some intermediate structures with the same d-spacing as that of DMSO intercalated Kaol. Different numbers of grafted methoxy and water molecules coexist together in the interlayer to form the final structures of methanol intercalated kaolinite (MeOm/nH2O/Kaol). The whole intercalation process is energy-consuming, and the presence of DMSO would affect the intercalation of methanol. Meanwhile, the formation energy from intermediate structures to final structures was found reduced under the participation of water.

MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 28:molecules28010282. [PMID: 36615476 PMCID: PMC9822349 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28010282] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2022] [Revised: 12/20/2022] [Accepted: 12/27/2022] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
New surface coordination photocatalytic systems that are inspired by natural photosynthesis have significant potential to boost fuel denitrification. Despite this, the direct synthesis of efficient surface coordination photocatalysts remains a major challenge. Herein, it is verified that a coordination photocatalyst can be constructed by coupling Pd and CTAB-modified ZnIn2S4 semiconductors. The optimized Pd/ZnIn2S4 showed a superior degradation rate of 81% for fuel denitrification within 240 min, which was 2.25 times higher than that of ZnIn2S4. From the in situ FTIR and XPS spectra of 1% Pd/ZnIn2S4 before and after pyridine adsorption, we find that pyridine can be selectively adsorbed and form Zn⋅⋅⋅C-N or In⋅⋅⋅C-N on the surface of Pd/ZnIn2S4. Meanwhile, the superior electrical conductivity of Pd can be combined with ZnIn2S4 to promote photocatalytic denitrification. This work also explains the surface/interface coordination effect of metal/nanosheets at the molecular level, playing an important role in photocatalytic fuel denitrification.

Abstract
Surfactants are widely used in many chemical industries and as primary components of cleaning detergents due to their specific characteristics, which in turn results in high pollution of domestic and industrial wastewaters by such substances. In this study, the mechanistic pathways of the adsorption of cationic benzyl-dimethyl-dodecyl ammonium bromide (BDDAB) and anionic sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) surfactants on kaolinite clay in water were investigated. The results showed that the adsorption of anionic surfactant (SDS) on kaolinite is better compared with cationic surfactant (BDDAB), wherein the ♦maximum adsorption capacity was found 161.4 μmol g-1 and 234 μmol g-1 for BDDAB and SDS, respectively. Adsorption kinetics were the best suited to pseudo-second-order model for both BDDAB and SDS with an adsorption rate constant of 0.028 g μmol-1 min-1 and 0.023 g μmol-1 min-1, respectively. Meanwhile, the adsorption of BDDAB by kaolinite showed that the isotherm adsorption tended to follow the Langmuir-Freundlich and Freundlich isotherm models. However, the SDS adsorption isotherm obeyed only the Langmuir-Freundlich model.

Abstract
The influence of the headgroup on the dynamics of three different alkylammonium cations confined in graphite oxide (GO) was studied by temperature-dependent impedance spectroscopy. X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetry and elemental analysis served to characterize the composites. The alkylammonium cations were connected to the C–O− group of GO via ionic interactions, and the backbone of the confined molecule was distributed as a flat monolayer with the long axis parallel to the GO layer. Ngai's correlated-state model was used, with asymmetry at low temperature in the loss peaks. The calculated true activation energy of 114 meV ± 6% meV is almost the same as the internal rotation barrier of the alkyl macromolecule. We conclude that the relaxation process is definitely attributed to the wobbling around the long molecular axes of the confined ions, an intrinsic motion, not the reorientation of C–H at the headgroup, and it is also due to geometric structural symmetry at the headgroup of the alkylammonium molecules with the interaction of their backbones and the skeletons of GO resulting in the difference in the apparent activation energy. The influence of the headgroup on the dynamics of three different alkylammonium cations confined in graphite oxide (GO) was studied by temperature-dependent impedance spectroscopy.![]()

Abstract
The evolution of basal spacing and interfacial structure of kaolinite-N-methylformamide (NMF) complexes during the intercalation process were difficult to obtain using experimental methods. In present study, a series of kaolinite-NMF complex models with various numbers of NMF molecules in the interlayer space were constructed to mimic the progressive stage of the intercalation process of kaolinite intercalated by NMF. The MD simulations were performed on these models to explore the evolution of basal spacing and interfacial structure of kaolinite-NMF complexes during the intercalation process. It was found that the basal spacing of complex was stabilized at 11 Å during the intercalation process, where the molecular plane of NMF oriented at small angles with respect to the interlayer surface with the C=O groups and N-H bonds pointing toward the octahedral and tetrahedral surfaces, respectively, due to the hydrogen bonding interactions. The basal spacing can be enlarged to larger values with the prerequisite of overcoming the energy barrier. With the increase of basal spacing during the intercalation process, the NMF were rearranged as a pillar with the molecular planes orienting at higher angles with respect to the interlayer surface, and then developed to disordered bilayer structure. For the interfacial interaction of kaolinite-NMF complex, both the octahedral surface and tetrahedral surface showed binding affinity to the NMF, which is the driving force for the intercalation of NMF in kaolinite. The octahedral surface displays stronger binding affinity to the NMF in terms of the H-bonds and energetics compared to the tetrahedral surface partially due to the highly active surface hydroxyl groups. The present study provides insight into the basal spacing evolution, and interfacial structure and interaction of kaolinite-NMF complexes, which can enhance the understanding of kaolinite intercalated by small molecules.

Abstract
Molecular dynamics simulations were performed on kaolinite-formamide complex models with various numbers of formamide molecules loaded in the kaolinite interlayer to explore the basal spacing, energetics, and structure evolution of the kaolinite-formamide complex during the intercalation process. Additionally, the interfacial interactions of formamide with kaolinite interlayer surfaces were calculated. The calculation revealed that the basal spacing of kaolinite was enlarged to 9.6 Å at the beginning of intercalation. Formamide was arranged as a monolayer structure in the kaolinite interlayer with the molecular plane oriented at small angles with respect to the interlayer surface. With continuous intercalation, the basal spacing readily reached a stable stage at 10.6 Å, where formamide rearranged its structure by rotating the molecule plane along the C-N bond that was parallel to the interlayer surface, which resulted in the molecular plane orienting at higher angles with respect to the interlayer surface. During this process, the C═O groups oriented toward the hydroxyl groups on the interlayer octahedral surface, and one of N-H bonds progressively pointed toward the basal oxygens on the opposing interlayer tetrahedral surface. Continuous intercalation can enlarge the basal spacing to more than 14 Å with the prerequisite of overcoming the energy barrier, and then formamide evolved to a disordered bilayer structure in the kaolinite interlayer. The affinity of kaolinite interlayer surfaces for formamide motivated the intercalation process. The octahedral surface displayed a relatively larger affinity toward formamide compared to the tetrahedral surface partially due to the presence of hydroxyl groups that are more active in the intermolecular interactions with formamide.

Abstract
Intercalation is the promising strategy to expand the interlayer region of kaolinite for their further applications. Herein, the adaptive biasing force (ABF) accelerated molecular dynamics simulations were performed to calculate the free energies involved in the kaolinite intercalation by dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Additionally, the classical all atom molecular dynamics simulations were carried out to calculate the interfacial interactions between kaolinite interlayer surfaces and DMSO with the aim at exploring the underlying force that drives the DMSO to enter the interlayer space. The results showed that the favorable interaction of DMSO with both kaolinite interlayer octahedral surface and tetrahedral surface can help in introducing DMSO enter kaolinite interlayer. The hydroxyl groups on octahedral surface functioned as H-donors attracting the S=O groups of DMSO through hydrogen bonding interaction. The tetrahedral surface featuring hydrophobic property attracted the methyl groups of DMSO through hydrophobic interaction. The results provided a detailed picture of the energetics and interlayer structure of kaolinite-DMSO intercalate.
