Dehydroxylation of Kaolinite Tunes Metal Oxide–Nanoclay Interactions for Enhancing Antibacterial Activity

Engineered nanoparticle–support interaction is an effective strategy for tuning the structures and performance of engineered nanoparticles. Here, we show that tuning the dehydroxylation of kaolinite nanoclay as the support could induce zinc oxide–kaolinite interactions. We used free energy theory, e...
