Vermiculite is typical layered aluminosilicate clay, which was mainly used as acoustic and heat insulation filler for buildings in the early stage. With the challenge of promoting practical applications of VMT, the structure of VMT should be well designed to construct porous architectures with sufficient void spaces and high specific surface area.

Such exfoliated particles exhibit the "accordion" type morphology. The large thermal expansion of the vermiculite after explosive dehydration of interlayer water causes cracking of vermiculite flakes. This exfoliation generates a 10 to 20 times volume expansion but the basal dimensions of the particles are unchanged [ 42 ].
