The exploitation of intercalation techniques in the field of two-dimensional layered materials offers unique opportunities for controlling chemical reactions in confined spaces and developing nanocomposites with desired functionality. In this study, the exploitation of the novel and facile "one-pot" anion-exchange method for the functionalization of layered double hydroxides (LDHs) is demonstra...

In this work, calcined chitosan-supported layered double hydroxides (CSLDO) were synthesized through a co-precipitation method that restrained the particles' aggregation of LDHs and exhibited huge specific surface areas, which can enhance the fluoride adsorption capacity. CSLDOs were characterized by physical and chemical methods and used for fluoride adsorption in an aqueous solution. The resu...

A series of cerium-doped CoFe-layered double hydroxides (LDH) materials were synthesized using a co-precipitation method, and they utilized for oxygen evolution reaction. Among all the materials, CoFeCe2 having the...

The application of hybrid and hierarchical nanomaterials based on layered hydroxides and oxyhydroxides of metals is a swiftly progressing field in biomedicine. Layered double hydroxides (LDH) possess a large specific surface area, significant surface electric charge and biocompatibility. Their physical and structural properties enable them to adsorb various kinds of anionic species and to trans...

Electrocatalysis. In their Research Article (e202217815) Yangen Zhou, Zhongliang Tian, Yanqing Lai, Guihua Yu et al. report a nonequilibrium precipitation approach to construct highly disordered crystal structure of layered double hydroxides as model oxygen evolution catalyst.

Layered double hydroxide (LDH) compounds are characterized by structures in which layers with a brucite-like structure carry a net positive charge, usually due to the partial substitution of trivalent octahedrally coordinated cations for divalent cations, giving a general layer formula [(M 1 xM 3+ x)(OH)2] . This positive charge is balanced by anions which are intercalated between the layers. I...
