Abstract
The microstructures of iron oxide-pillared montmorillonite have been investigated by highresolution transmission electron microscopy. The iron oxide is incorporated in the interlayer space of montmorillonite as Fe2O3 crystallites. The crystallites are present in two different morphologies: isolated particles ∼10 nm long and ∼4 nm thick, and bands (possibly plates) with a thickness ≲1 nm running parallel to the basal plane.
