Layered double hydroxides (LDHs), also well-known as hydrotalcite-like layered clays, have been widely investigated in the fields of catalysts and catalyst support, anion exchanger, electrical and optical functional materials, flame retardants and nanoadditives. This feature article focuses on the progress in micro-/nanostructured LDHs in terms of morphology, and also on the preparations, appli...

Highly ordered transparent composite films of CdS and layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have been fabricated using a template synthesis method; the size of the CdS particles in the LDH host can be controlled by adjusting the length of time of the reaction with H(2)S.

A facile method for the synthesis of Zn2Al-borate and Mg3Al-borate layered double hydroxides (LDHs) with extremely high specific surface areas of 458.6 and 263 m(2) g(-1) and containing delaminated nanosheets is reported. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of LDH powders that still remain exfoliated on drying.

in this research, we reported a novel modified carbon ceramic electrode (cce) using ni/al layered double hydroxide as modifier was fabricated by sol-gel technique. the ni/al layered double hydroxide modified sol gel derived carbon ceramic (ni/al ldh-sgd-cc) electrode was used for electrocatalytic oxidation of acetaldehyde. the oxidation of acetaldehyde happens at the potential where ni (iii) sp...

Porous few-layer NiFe-layered double hydroxide (PLDH)/graphene oxide (GO) composite electrocatalysts (PLDH/GO) were successfully synthesized through a formamide-assisted coprecipitation method. The ratio of PLDH to GO was optimized, and the structure, morphology electrochemical properties samples systematically investigated. results show that with obvious porous features uniformly grows on GO, ...
