摘要

We propose an alternative to the synthesis of MgAl-layered double hydroxides (LDHs) via controlling the topotactic reaction of Mg2+, OH-, and NO3- with Al(OH)(3) in an aqueous buffer solution (e.g. pH = 9), and the formed MgAl-LDH crystals are the pseudomorph of the Al(OH)(3) precursor but with an increase in volume.
