Natural aluminosilicate nanoclay mineral for photocatalytic applications: Influence of the surface properties in photocatalysis
Source abstract
Abstract
The natural aluminosilicate nanoclay mineral (ANM) has found extensive application in photocatalysis due to its cost-effectiveness, excellent stability, and unique surface properties. The distinctive ANMs surface not only alters the surface characteristics of loaded photocatalysts and regulates the microenvironment of photochemical reactions but also actively participates as a photocatalyst itself, thereby making the roles of ANMs surfaces in photocatalytic reactions highly intricate. This review aims to highlight recent advancements in comprehending the influence of ANMs surfaces on photocatalysis. We commence by summarizing the structural features of ANMs surfaces as traditional supports, functional supports, and photocatalysts. Emphasis is placed on elucidating how the aluminosilicate structure, photochemical activity, and asymmetric structure impact the process of photocatalytic reactions. Particular attention is given to exploring the asymmetric photochemical activity exhibited by ANMs and its consequential unique structural effects. Finally, we summarize challenges faced and future developments pertaining to heterostructure design, enhancement mechanisms, and photochemical applications for ANMs in photocatalysis.
