Using low cost and resource-rich natural materials to develop vital components, especially
electrodes, separators, and solid/quasi-solid electrolytes, is of great significance for the …

Two montmorillonites modified with organic surfactant hexadecyltrimethylammonium
bromide via ion exchange were used as adsorbents to remove 2, 4, 5-trichlorophenol (2, 4, 5 …

This study has investigated the potential use of acid-activated montmorillonite (AMt) as
adsorbent for the removal of 2, 4, 5-trichlorophenol (2, 4, 5-TCP) from aqueous solution. The …

X-ray diffraction has been used to study the changes in the surface properties of
montmorillonitic clay through the changes in the basal spacings of sodium-montmorillonite …

Clay electrical properties are known to depend on cation exchange capacity (CEC) and the
swelling clay minerals have the highest CEC. Despite the use of advanced models to …

In this work, the hydration and protonic conductivity of H-montmorillonite were investigated.
The hydration water state was characterized by DTA, TGA and XRD at different …

This study is an attempt to prepare proton conductors based on ammonium polyphosphate
(NH4PO3). The base material itself is almost an insulator, but becomes appreciably proton …

The conductivity of La-montmorillonite was measured in the domain of water relative
pressures (p/p0) of< 1, and compared with the conductivites of Li-and Na-montmorillonite …

A considerable influence of relative humidity on the conductivity of sodium and lithium-
montmorillonite was found. At high humidity the conductivity values are similar for both type …

Bibliographic reports on the electric conductivity of pure homoionic montmorillonite at low
water content were analyzed in order to stress a general behavior of conductivity. At low …
