This work reports the preparation of novel kaolinite nanohybrid material obtained by intercalation of methyl viologen (MV) in the interlayer space of kaolinite, using methoxykaolinite (K-M) as starting material. Characterization of the resulting material (K-MV) confirmed the presence of MV units in...
