Montmorillonite: A structural evolution from bulk through unilaminar nanolayers to nanotubes
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Delicate nanostructures, especially tubular nanoarchitectures, have been verified to exhibit amazing physicochemical properties due to the unique atomic arrangements and are applied to various fields including optics, electronics, etc. Herein, montmorillonite nanotubes were prepared for the first time from the exfoliated unilaminar nanolayer counterparts via a facile hydrothermal process using cation-type surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB, C16H33(CH3)3NBr) as the directing reagent, realizing a structural evolution from bulk through unilaminar nanolayers to nanotubes, and bringing a new member to the nanotube family. This work offers a new approach to the structural evolution of lamellar layered silicate minerals into nanotubes for more functionalities.
