Abstract

Aqueous suspensions of exfoliated Li0.25MoO3 and Na-montmorillonite have been combined and dried to form interstratified solids. X-ray diffraction patterns of ethylene glycol treated films show that the d-spacing of restacked materials varies with composition between the limits established by the two end members. Based on these data, we conclude that the new materials are composed of individual layers from each of the precursor compounds, arranged in a random fashion. It is likely that other layered solids can be exfoliated and restacked to form new interstratified materials.
