Thermal stability and CO₂ adsorption–desorption performance of synthetic hectorite and its CeO₂/NiO nanocomposites

Understanding the properties of clay minerals is crucial for developing efficient adsorbent and catalytic materials, creating new options for carbon capture technologies (CCT). This study investigates for the first time the thermal stability of synthetic hectorite (Hec), a smecti...
