“…For SBECD-LDH (Figure 2A), the first diffraction peak at 4.20 °which corresponds to the basal spacing of 2.14 nm, which is far bigger than that of LDH (2θ = 10.1 °, d = 0.88 nm) (Jin et al, 2010), suggesting the intercalation of SBECD into the interlayer of LDH. The d value of SBECD-LDH is similar to that of SBECD-LDH (2.15 nm) (Nakayama et al, 2008), and is bigger than those of CMCD-LDH (1.52 nm) (Jin et al, 2010), SCD-LDH (1.52 nm) (Xue et al, 2014), and β-CD-LDH (0.76 nm) (Balbino et al, 2020). The size of SBECD is bigger than that of CMCD, SCD, and β-CD, and SBECD may adopt a parallel monolayer in the interlayer space, while CMCD, SCD, and β-CD take a monolayer vertical arrangement (Jin et al, 2010;Xue et al, 2014;Balbino et al, 2020) (Newman and Jones, 1999).…”
