Sensitive Montmorillonite Evaporation Detector Based on Montmorillonite Monolayer Nanosheets.

ABSTRACT: Two-dimensional (2D) materials open up exciting possibilities for the study of ion transport behavior for green energy. Here, a simple and effective strategy to fabricate high-conductivity nanofluidic channels based on exfoliated montmorillonite (MTM) nanosheets is proposed. The resource-rich and low-cost layered MTM was first exfoliated into monolayer nanosheets using Exolit OP 550. Subsequently, the MTM nanosheets with Exolit OP 550 were assembled into 2D nanofluidic devices by the layer-by-layer self-assembly method. The results show that Exolit OP 550 exfoliates different types of layered MTM into monolayer nanosheets with uniform contrast and integrity. The reconstructed Na-MTM nanofluidic device has the highest ionic conductance. The ionic conductivity of the Na-MTM 2D nanofluidic de
