A New Route to the Preparation of Nanophase Composites via Layered Double Hydroxides
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
A promising route to the preparation of nanophase composites with fine particles of transition metals via layered double hydroxides has been shown on the derivatives of Li-Al double hydroxide, LADH-X, where interlayer X anions are complexes of transition metals. Thermal decomposition of such materials in vacuum or an inert gas leads to dehydration and dehydroxylation of the hydroxide matrix and to the collapse red/ox process of the complex anion. The latter results in the carbonisation of the samples and in the appearance of nanoscale (20–500Å) metal particles.
