However, under neutral conditions, the stability of the binary system was greatly increased when bare silver nanoparticles were changed to Tween-coated ones. The CCCs of the binary system contain Tween-AgNPs are all above 100mM in either NaCl, NaNO3, or CaCl2, and in some systems such as Ca-montmorillonite with Tween-AgNPs, the CCCs cannot even be determined in all the electrolyte solutions. The adsorption of Tween 80 on the clay surface was proposed to explain the changes among different clays and electrolytes. The
