Synthesis of high-value products from coal ash, an otherwise valueless waste is crucial to both sustainable treatment and low-cost material fabrication. However, research in this area still sparse, with majority the researches being conducted on synthesis alumina/silica-based nanomaterials such as zeolite fly ash. Herein, we report a facile high-purity, magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) nanosheet b...
