The invention discloses a method for preparing size-controllable easily-peelable layered nanometer
zirconium phosphate. The method comprises the following steps: adding
phosphoric acid or
metal phosphate into deionized water to prepare a solution with a concentration of 3 to 12 mol / L, then adding a water-soluble inorganic
zirconium salt, a surfactant and an intercalator, and carrying out mechanical stirring at a rotating speed of 200 to 500 r / min for 20-30 min so as to realize sufficient dispersion; transferring a
mixed solution obtained in the previous step mixture to a hydrothermal reactionkettle and carrying out a reaction at 150-250 DEG C for 3-72 h; after the completion of the reaction, naturally cooling the
mixed solution to
room temperature; and subjecting a white precipitate to
centrifugation, washing with water, and
drying successively so as to obtain size-controllable easily-peelable layered nanometer
zirconium phosphate. Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following advantages: water is used as a reaction medium, and a
fluorine-containing compound is not used; the preparation method is simple in process; and the prepared
zirconium phosphate has a controllable size in a range of 100 to 3000 nm, high
crystallinity, regular structure, easiness in peeling during
processing and good compatibility with polymers.
