Ice nucleation by smectites: the role of the edges

<p>Smectites, like other clay minerals, have been shown to promote ice nucleation in the immersion freezing mode and likely contribute to the population of ice-nucleating particles (INPs) in the atmosphere. Smectites are layered aluminosilicates, which form platelets that depending on composit...
