“…Therefore, biohybrid compounds that combine these biomolecules and an inorganic substrates such as clay minerals have been widely investigated to reverse these limitations by interaction/protection in the host materials (Kohno et al, 2009;Teixeira-Neto et al, 2012;Pimchan et al, 2014;Lu et al, 2019;Samuei et al, 2020). This strategy is inspired by Maya Blue pigments, in which a variety of clay minerals and organic dyes have been used to prepare stable pigments (Trigueiro et al, 2018;Chen et al, 2019;Zhuang et al, 2019a;Silva et al, 2020). Concerning the ACN stabilization, montmorillonite, synthetic non-swelling mica and silica were employed by Kohno et al, 2009 to improve the stability of ACN against alkaline environment and visible light irradiation.…”
