Abstract

Dion-Jacobson layered niobates have been extensively researched in recent years because of a variety of useful properties such as dielectric behavior, proton conduction, and solid acid catalysis. The behavior of these materials is strongly dependent on the elemental composition and, more specifically, the interlayer surface environment. A novel method of partial grafting of n-alcohols into the interlayer of HSr2Nb3O10 with approximately 40% conversion has been developed using microwave irradiation to generate high temperatures. This method has reduced the grafting reaction time by more than 97% while maintaining conversion rates consistent with previous methods.
