Each state of synthesis process was followed by the use of FT IR analysis. The resulting materials have been characterized by means of XRD, TEM, BET surface area analysis. The acid exchanging property of the obtained product was also studied. The experimental results showed that comparing with the product of traditional solid state reaction, the particle size of the K2La2Ti3O10 synthesized by SAM is greatly reduced, BET surface area is high(more than 11.83m2· g- 1) and has different acid exchanging properties. It can be easily exfoliated in 2mol· L- 1 HNO3 solution.展开更多
