Temperature Dependence Study of Water Dynamics in Fluorohectorite Clays Using Molecular Dynamics Simulations

Figure 1

Snapshot of the pre-equilibrium systems with 48 interlayer cations, 480 water molecules, and Na-fluorohectorite clay with two layers. Colors: O (red), H (white), Si (dark yellow), Mg (green), Na (purple), and F (light skyblue). To generate models for other M-fluorohectorite clays, Na is replaced with other M-ions (M = Li, K, Cs).
