“…However, the instability and poor processability of nanosheets remain the limit for their application. Clay materials attract extensive attentions in the field of hydrogels and electrolytes because of their large specific surface, unique physical and chemical adsorption functions, and environmental friendliness. − Lithium magnesium silicate (synthetic laponite) is a kind of clay with a layered structure composed of octahedral sheets sandwiched between two silica tetrahedral sheets, which has been investigated in batteries due to its unique chemical stability, good mechanical strength, environmental friendliness, and low cost . Through a simple ultrasonic stripping method, ultrathin laponite sheets (LSs) with large and negatively charged surfaces can be prepared, − which is an ideal inorganic filler to efficiently enhance the ionic conductivity, mechanical strength, thermal stability, and electrochemical performance of solid composite electrolytes.…”
