“…3. There are characteristic peaks of NiAl-LDH: A broad band at 3474 cm À1 is corresponding to the stretching vibration of OAH in the crystallization water; The peak centered at 1626 cm À1 belongs to the hydroxyl deformation mode of the interlayer water molecules; The strong peak at 1384 cm À1 belongs to the v 3 vibration mode of CO 3 2À ions which come from urea in the interlayer; The peaks in the range of 800-500 cm À1 are associated with MAO, MAOAM, and OAMAO lattice vibrations (M = Ni or Al) [35,40]. In the FT-IR spectra of LC sample, the characteristic peaks at 1599, 1419 and 1145 cm À1 are featured for CEPPA molecular.…”
