Abstract

Abstract

As a typical type of layered clay mineral, montmorillonite with excellent physicochemical properties can be separated into high-diameter-thickness lamellar monomers with two-dimensional structural characteristics. Common exfoliation methods can be divided into chemical method, mechanical method and chemical-mechanical method. Through the exfoliation process, the montmorillonite flakes with weak interlayer bonding can be separated and uniformly dispersed. The exfoliated nanosheets can be used for the preparation of advanced functional mineral materials such as environmental function materials, energy storage materials, flame retardant materials, nanofluidic channels and smart materials. In this paper, recent advances in the exfoliating preparation and functional applications of two-dimensional montmorillonite nanosheets are reviewed, thereby providing enlightening ideas for the further application and deepening study of layered clay minerals.
