Aluminosilicate clay mineral(ACM)is a kind of typical raw materials that used widely in manufacturing industry owing to the abundant reserve and low-cost exploring.In past two decades,in-depth understanding on unique layered structure and abundant surface proper-ties endows ACM in the emerging research and application fields.In field of solar-chemical energy conversion,ACM has been widely used to support various semiconductor photocata-lysts,forming the composites and achieving efficient conversion of reactants under sunlight irradiation.To date,classic ACM such as kaolinite and montmorillonite,loaded with semi-conductor photocatalysts has been widely applied in photocatalysis.This review summaries the recent works on ACM-based composites in photocatalysis.Focusing on the properties of surface and layered structure,we elucidate the different features in the composition with various functional photocatalysts on two typical kinds of ACM,i.e.,type 1∶1 and type 2∶1.Not only large surface area and active surface hydroxyl group assist the substrate adsorption,but also the layered structure provides more space to enlarge the application of ACM-based photocatalysts.Besides,we overview the modifications on ACM from both external surface and the inter-layer space that make the formation of composites more efficiently and boost the photo-chemical process.This review could inspire more upcoming design and synthesis for ACM-based photocatalysts,leading this kind of economic and eco-friendly materials for more practical application in the future.
