“…The p-XRD pattern, SEM, high- and low-resolution TEM of this product are provided in Figure S4. The p-XRD peaks corresponding to planes (003), (006), (012), (015), (018), (110), (113), and (116) of CoAl-LDH/C (Figure S4a) suggest the formation of LDH phases due to the hydrothermal treatment in the first step of synthesis of CoAl 2 O 4 /C composite. ,, As presented in Figure S4b, the SEM image of the first step product shows 3D flowerlike morphology of CoAl-LDH/C composite. Figure S4c,d represents the high- and low-resolution TEM images of the CoAl-LDH/C composite.…”
