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

Figure 2

The density profile of interlayer cation and water molecules of the different fluorohectorite clays (MFht; M = Li, Na, K, Cs) as a function of coordinate at different values of temperature. From left to right, the temperatures are 293, 300, 323, and 350 K, respectively. The top side is for the ions (M) while the bottom side is for water. Colors: blue color and solid line-LiFht, orange color and dashdot-NaFht, green color and dashed line-KFht, and black color and solid line-CsFht. For the interpretations of the references to color in this plot legend, the reader is referred to the web-version.
