Layered titanate–zinc oxide nanohybrids with mesoporosity

Abstract

Zinc oxide-layered titanate nanohybrids with a 1 ratio 1 ordered heterostructure have been successfully synthesized by reassembling exfoliated titanate nanosheets in the sol solution of zinc acetate under hydrothermal conditions.

Lepidocrocite-like ferrititanate nanosheets and their full exfoliation with quaternary ammonium compounds

“…One is to present, to our knowledge, first conclusive findings on rapid and full exfoliation by quaternary ammonium compounds of LTs nanosheets with high specific area, composed of only a few host layers and nanometric lateral dimensions while synthesized from raw mineral sands, aiming future development of exfoliated LTs-polymer nanocomposites, as well as, new pillared heterostructures [30,31]. Quaternary ammonium compounds, dimethyldioctadecylammonium bromide (2C18) and tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (TBAOH) were chosen due to their compatibility with hydrophobic polymer matrices and proved exfoliation capacity, respectively.…”

Two different approaches to synthesizing Mg–Al-layered double hydroxides as folic acid carriers

“…Interests in the study of hybrid systems such as inorganicinorganic, organic-inorganic, or bio-inorganic nanoparticles [1,2] have recently soared due to the unusual physical-chemical properties and complementary behaviors [3][4][5]. Layered double hydroxides (LDHs), also known as ''anionic clay'', and hydrotalcite-like compounds, are a class of host-guest layered solids with the general formula [M 1Àx…”

Structure and photoluminescence of ZnO/niobate composites self-assembled from solution with different pH and contents

“…Another strategy is to embed ZnO nanoparticles in inorganic host materials such as mesoporous silica [7][8][9][10][11][12][13], zeolite [14,15], ultrahard diamond-like carbon matrix [16], layered titanate [17,18], and montmorillonite [19]. The results show that the luminescent property was enhanced [10], and at the same time, the blue-shift of UV emission and blue emission, attributed to ZnOSiO 2 interface in the silica host [7,[10][11][12][13], were observed, or a new UV-Vis absorption edge, attributed to the formation of covalent bonds between the guest ZnO and host montmorillonite, emerged [19].…”
