Poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), an important thermoplastic polymer widely-used in various fields, requires the use of thermal stabilizers to enhance its stability during processing and practical applications because poor stability. Layered double hydroxides (LDHs), two-dimensional anionic layered versatile filler, are widely considered be one kind high-efficient environment-friendly PVC stabilizers...

The photocatalytic conversion of CO2 into useful chemical compounds in water without using organic sacrificial reagents is a promising method to overcome environmental and energy problems. Various synthesized layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are capable of reducing CO2 to CO in an aqueous solution under UV light irradiation. However, it is difficult to oxidize H2O to O2 in a photocatalytic syst...

Hollow nanoshells of layered double hydroxide (LDH) have been fabricated using exfoliated LDH nanosheets as a shell building block and polystyrene beads as a sacrificial template.

A biochar supported calcined-Mg/Al layered double hydroxides composite (CLDHs/BC) was synthesized by a one-pot slow pyrolysis of LDHs preloaded bagasse biomass. Multiple characterizations of the product illustrated that the calcined-Mg/Al layered double hydroxides (CLDHs) were successfully coated onto the biochar in slow pyrolysis of pre-treated biomass. The as-synthesized CLDHs/BC could effici...

This work focuses on studying the removal of Titan Yellow (TY) dye, which is a water pollutant using three matrices layered double hydroxide (LDHs; M+2Al-HT), with M+2 = Ni, Co, or NiCo were synthesized co-precipitation technique in solution constant pH. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern formed solids shows that phase LDH type average interlamellar distance (dspacing ≈ 7.595 Å). Fourier-trans...

Direct air capture (DAC) is becoming a technically feasible negative emission technology; however, the fabrication of affordable adsorbents with large CO 2 capacities, fast kinetics, and high sorption-desorption stability are critical importance for large-scale deployment DAC process. In this study, amine functionalized, aqueous miscible organic Mg x Al-CO 3 layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanos...
