Abstract

Montmorillonite (MMT) mainly consist of hydrated aluminum silicate. Montmorillonite has particular properties and many practical applications, because of their special crystal structure. Here, mechano-chemical method was used to prepare MMT nanosheets by controlling the pH value. MMT nanosheets were obtained by ballmilling, and the impact of pH value on the nanosheets preparing was studied. TEM was employed to emamine the microstructure of MMT nanosheets. The size are analyzed to study the status of MMT nanosheets. Different rare earth ions as a fluorescence center were assembled on nanosheets, and composites were obtained. The luminescent properties of composite materials were studied.
