A functional layered nanocomposite, MB + ‐Ca 2 Nb 3 O 10 , was prepared by the intercalation of methylene blue (MB) into the layered material, KCa 2 Nb 3 O 10 , by a guest‐exchange method using the n ‐PrNH 3 + –Ca 2 Nb 3 O 10 intercalation compound as an intermediate. The resultant nanocomposite was characterised by powder X‐ray diffraction and infrared. Electrochemical studies reveal that the target hybrid retains the good redox activities of MB + cation and has potential utilisation in electrocatalytic reactions.
