Pillared interlayered clay (PILC) is one type of structure-controllable two-dimensional layered porous material with high specific surface area, large interlayer spacing and good heat-resistant stability. Due to these excellent structural characteristics, PILC has attracted intense interests and become an active research topic in recent years. Structure controllability and performance optimization are two major pending issues, while pore structure and heat-resistant stability are considered as the critical factors. The applications of PILC-based materials for catalytic combustion of VOCs is intensively studied in recent years. In this article, common synthetic approaches to prepare PILC are reviewed and the development from a single-core pillar to a multi-core pillar is summarized. Their applications in adsorption/desorption/catalytic combustion of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are discussed. Finally, future application prospects of the PILC-based catalysts are covered. This review provides key information to our community to design and fabricate PILC-based catalysts with great performance.

柱状夹层粘土（PILC）是一种结构可控的二维层状多孔材料，具有较高的比表面积，较大的层间间距和良好的耐热稳定性。由于这些优异的结构特性，近年来PILC引起了人们的浓厚兴趣，并成为活跃的研究课题。结构可控性和性能优化是两个主要的悬而未决的问题，而孔结构和耐热稳定性被认为是关键因素。近年来，对基于PILC的材料在VOC催化燃烧中的应用进行了深入研究。在本文中，回顾了制备PILC的常用合成方法，并总结了从单核支柱向多核支柱的发展。讨论了它们在挥发性有机化合物（VOC）的吸附/解吸/催化燃烧中的应用。最后，涵盖了PILC基催化剂的未来应用前景。这篇评论为我们的社区提供了设计和制造性能优异的PILC基催化剂的关键信息。
