Abstract
Naturally-occurring mineral substances called clays are available at a low cost and are ecologically beneficial. These clays are composed of two-dimensional (2D) nanoclays, layered silicates made up of platelets with nanoscale thickness joined together by van der Waals forces. There are various types of nanoclays frequently cited in the literature, such as montmorillonite (MMT), kaolinite, vermiculite (VMT), laponite, and illite. These nanoclays possess distinct physical and chemical characteristics, which make them useful for a variety of applications in scientific and industrial fields. This study includes the development of electrochemical sensors that employ modified electrodes with 2D nanoclays and their composites to detect drugs, diagnose medical conditions, monitor environmental pollutants, and ensure food safety. This article discusses these applications in detail. Furthermore, we explored the uses of 2D nanoclays in various electrochemical applications, such as serving as cathodes in Li-sulfur batteries, separators in batteries and supercapacitors, and acting the role of catalysts in the processes of water electrolysis and oxygen reduction reaction. Finally, we assessed the current challenges related to the use of 2D nanoclays in electrochemistry.
期刊介绍:
The Microchemical Journal is a peer reviewed journal devoted to all aspects and phases of analytical chemistry and chemical analysis. The Microchemical Journal publishes articles which are at the forefront of modern analytical chemistry and cover innovations in the techniques to the finest possible limits. This includes fundamental aspects, instrumentation, new developments, innovative and novel methods and applications including environmental and clinical field.
Traditional classical analytical methods such as spectrophotometry and titrimetry as well as established instrumentation methods such as flame and graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry, gas chromatography, and modified glassy or carbon electrode electrochemical methods will be considered, provided they show significant improvements and novelty compared to the established methods.
