Self-sacrificial templating synthesis of self-assembly 3D layered double hydroxide nanosheets using nano-SiO2 under facile conditions†
Abstract
Self-assembly 3D layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanosheets were synthesized using nano-SiO2 as self-sacrificial templates via a facile bottom-up strategy. It is an environmentally friendly and economic strategy to prepare LDH nanosheets in comparison with the conventional method by exfoliation of bulk LDHs.
