Nickel-aluminum layered double hydroxides (Ni-Al LDHs) are widely used in energy storage and conversion devices, and the impact of the Ni/Al molar ratio on the structural evolution and kinetic process is of great significance for improving reaction kinetics and efficiency. In this paper, the morphological evolutions and nanomechanical property changes of Ni-Al-n LDH (n is the Ni/Al molar ratio) nanosheets during potential cycling were explored by in situ electrochemical atomic force microscopy. The conversion of Ni2+ into Ni3+ and the amphoteric properties of Al3+ during potential cycling resulted in the dissolution of Ni-Al-n LDH nanosheets. The dissolution rate of Ni-Al-2 LDH nanosheets was slower than those of Ni-Al-2.5 LDH and Ni-Al-3 LDH nanosheets. Meanwhile, the Young’s modulus value of the dissolved area was much larger than that of the undissolved area, and the dissolved area exhibited a harder property. It was attributed to the different microcrystalline structures of Ni-Al LDH nanosheets affected by the Ni/Al molar ratio and the rearrangement of Ni2+ and Al3+ during the reaction. The slow dissolution of Ni-Al-2 LDH nanosheets was beneficial to improving the electrochemical performance, while the fast dissolution of Ni-Al-2.5 LDH and Ni-Al-3 LDH nanosheets was not conducive to the electrochemical performance. Understanding the effect of the Ni/Al molar ratio on the morphological evolutions and nanomechanical property changes of Ni-Al LDH nanosheets during potential cycling has important guiding significance for the subtle compositional modification and structural design of Ni-Al LDHs as an electrode material.

The ingenious synthesis strategies have been highly desired to construct hybrid composites with intriguing properties for supercapacitors . Herein, Ni-Al LDH (layered double hydroxide)/NNDG (nitramine-N-doped graphene) hybrid composites with a layered structure were fabricated via a novel self-assembly process. Nitramine-N dopants anchored to graphene framework allow the self-immobilization of delaminated Ni-Al LDH nanolayers onto the surface of two-dimensional carbonaceous scaffolds and boost the abundance of Ni 3+ within hybrid composites along with the removal of interlayer anions within Ni-Al LDH-NO 3 . Remarkably, the combination of Ni-Al LDH with NNDG can not only enhance the utilization of electrochemically active matrixes in dependence on the increase of electrolyte accessible active sites, but also maximize the electrochemically active contact between inorganic macromolecules and carbonaceous matrixes in favor of the establishment of conductive architectures. Furthermore, Ni-Al LDH/NNDG hybrid composites achieve a specific capacity of 975 C g −1 at a specific current of 1.0 A g −1 with a capacity retention of 75% as the increase of specific currents to 10 A g −1 , superior to Ni-Al LDH-NO 3 and Ni-Al LDH/rGO hybrid composites. The hybrid supercapacitor comprised of Ni-Al LDH/NNDG hybrid composites as a positive electrode and activated carbon as a negative electrode attains a high energy density of 59 Wh kg −1 with a power density of 1991 W kg −1 at a specific current of 2.5 A g −1 and retains 95% of the initial capacitance after 10 000 cycles at a specific current of 10 A g −1 . The excellence electrochemical performance demonstrates clearly the potential application of self-assembled Ni-Al LDH/NNDG hybrid composites for hybrid supercapacitors.

In this paper, a double hollow spherical shell composite modified with layered double hydroxide (C@Ni-Al LDH HSS) was fabricated for uranium(VI) (U(VI)) adsorption. Various batch experiments were carried out to investigate the influence of pH, concentration, time and coexistence ion on extraction. The results showed that the adsorption processes of U(VI) onto C@Ni-Al LDH HSS were spontaneous and endothermic and closely followed pseudo-second-order and Langmuir isotherm models. The equilibrium time and maximum adsorption capacity of C@Ni-Al LDH HSS was 360 min and 545.9 mg g −1 . FT-IR and XPS analyses proved that the adsorption behavior was primarily attributed to the strong interaction between oxygen-containing functional groups and U(VI). Moreover, the extraction of trace U(VI) (μg L −1 ) in artificial and natural seawater was also studied. The results showed that C@Ni-Al LDH HSS provided a promising application for the efficient extraction of U(VI) from seawater.

Ni–Al layered double hydroxide with nitrate anions as interlayer building blocks was synthesized by a dual-anion intercalating strategy of hydroxyl and nitrate anions during a facile co-precipitation process. In this case, nitrate anions with low charge densities are capable to expand the interplanar spacing between host layers of Ni–Al layered double hydroxide in the replacement of pristine carbonate anions, benefiting to the diffusion of electrolyte ions to active sites within electrodes. Moreover, the optimization for packed arrangement of Ni–Al layered double hydroxide with nitrate anions nanosheets can be effectively realized by modulating reactant concentrations, leading to the formation of nanolayered structure in favor of increasing electrolyte accessible active sites within electrodes. The optimized Ni–Al layered double hydroxide with nitrate anions achieves a high specific capacitance of 1616 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 together with a capacitance retention of 82% at 10 A g −1 and good cycling stability.

With the widespread use of epoxy resin (EP) in construction, higher demands are placed on its flame retardancy and weather resistance. This study develops a synergistic flame retardant strategy based on a multi-core-shell structure, consisting of a spherical mesoporous hollow silica (MHS) core, a cyclic polyphosphazene (PZS) inner shell, and a Ni, Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) outer shell. At 2 wt% addition, the EP composite achieves a limiting oxygen index (LOI) of 33.7% and passed the UL-94 V-0 rating. Meanwhile, the peak heat release rate (HRR) and total heat release (THR) decreased by 37.61% and 42.85%. Smoke release (TSR) and peak CO production rate (COP) decreased by 45.10% and 40.70% respectively, demonstrating remarkable flame retardancy and smoke suppression. MHS retains heat and inhibits diffusion, the PZS layer captures free radicals and enhances the char formation. And the Ni, Al-LDH shell releases non-flammable gases and catalyzes graphitization, realizing synergistic flame retardancy. Additionally, it improves interfacial compatibility and stress dispersion, enhancing mechanical and weather performance. Chemical resistance tests showed a 13.7% reduction in tensile strength after 30 days of HCl immersion, while ultraviolet (UV) aging caused minimal degradation. This research provides a promising approach for high-performance, multifunctional epoxy composites.

CuS-based composites are widely used in the fields related to photothermal energy storage and electromagnetic shielding and are excellent candidates for composites with phase change materials. To meet the requirements of micro-integration and electromagnetic resistance of electronic products and optimize the thermal management of electronic products, it is necessary to prepare new flexible composite phase change materials. In this paper, through the design of MPC@Ni Al-LDH/CuS double-layer structure, two-step vacuum filtration method is used, and the highly conductive materials CuS and MPC are introduced into the manufacture of PCM films. With the help of Ni Al-LDH, flame retardancy is introduced. The electromagnetic wave absorption performance is enhanced, and the existence of nano-cellulose (CNF) makes the film have excellent mechanical properties. Ni Al-LDH/MPC and CuS substrates with stable and high mechanical properties are prepared by ultrasonic treatment. According to scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetry (TG) characterizations, PEG successfully entered the MPC/CuS skeleton by vacuum filtration, and flexible phase change composite bilayers (MLPC) were obtained. Due to the synergistic effect of structure and components, the obtained composite film has many different excellent functions. Specifically, when MPC@Ni Al-LDH is 15 wt%, the phase transition enthalpy, thermal conductivity, electromagnetic shielding, and electrical conductivity are 146.8 J/g, 1.07 W/m·K, 38.8 dB and 126.4 S/m, respectively. The 3600 s infrared temperature measurement results show that the sample has stable thermal properties. Due to the presence of CuS, when MPC@Ni Al-LDH is 5 wt%, its absorbance can be kept at 1.51 L/(g·cm), and its photothermal conversion efficiency can reach 90.6 %. The MPC/CuS structure in the composite film provides many heat transfer channels, which reduces the phonon scattering in the heat transfer process and significantly increases thermal conductivity. Therefore, this multifunctional flexible phase change film can be used in photothermal conversion devices and for thermal management of electronic equipment, and it has broad application prospects in wearable equipment design due to its excellent electromagnetic shielding ability and infrared thermal stealth ability.

The determination of gallic acid (GA), one of the most prevalent antioxidants in various plants, provides information for food nutrition evaluation. A novel colorimetric, fluorescent, and smartphone multi-mode GA sensing platform based on Fe 3 O 4 @Co/Ni/Al-layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanospheres was designed in this study. The core-shell magnetic Fe 3 O 4 @Co/Ni/Al-LDH nanospheres were synthesized through a simple co-precipitation approach. They showed dominate peroxidase-like activities capable of oxidizing 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) into a blue colored oxidation oxTMB. Meanwhile, the generated oxTMB could quench the fluorescence of neutral red via the inner filter effect. GA acted as an inhibitor to prevent the oxidation of TMB to oxTMB and restoring the fluorescence of neutral red. Under optimized conditions, the linear ranges were 0.5–120 μmol/L with detection limits of 0.137–0.415 μmol/L. Besides, the sensor exhibited good selectivity toward GA over various interferents. Moreover, it was successfully utilized to analyze GA in tea beverages with ideal recoveries of 92.8–105%, demonstrating good reliability and stability in practical applications. This study provided Fe 3 O 4 @Co/Ni/Al-LDH nanospheres as candidate nanozymes for the construction of biosensors. The multi-mode self-checking function and the “turn on” fluorescent sensing strategy offered this sensor superior anti-interference ability, and opens up a new strategy for the determination of antioxidants in foods.

In this study, phytic acid -doped polyaniline (PPA) was loaded on the surface of carbon spheres, resulting in a classical C-N-P flame retardant system, that has a beneficial function for the formation of residual carbon. Subsequently, using this phosphorus-nitride carbon sphere (CS/PPA) as a carrier, flower-like Ni-Al-layered double hydroxide (Ni-Al/LDH) were uniformly grown on its surface, thus obtaining a novel nano-fire retardant with a graded structure to heighten the fire-resistant properties of aqueous epoxy resin . Importantly, the intervention of Ni-Al/LDH nanosheets not only imparts a gas-phase fire retardant function to the coating, but also the presence of Ni and Al bimetals can effectively catalyze the formation of more residual carbon in the combustion process. The highest residual carbon (30.7 %) in thermal weight loss experiments of the CS/PPA@Ni-Al/LDH/EP composite coating confirmed this view. Tests on the thermal insulation behavior of coatings illustrated that the backside temperature (168.8 °C) for CS/PPA@Ni-Al/LDH/EP was significantly smaller than that of other coatings, and that this optimum thermal shielding is inextricably linked to the high residual carbon and the residual metal oxides . Furthermore, the CS/PPA@Ni-Al/LDH/EP specimen shown the greatest expansion height (25.1 mm), expansion ratio (19.61) as well as the smallest smoke density rating (39.1 %), proving that its expansion property and smoke suppression were effectively improved. Moreover, the microstructure for the expanded carbon layer demonstrated that the CS/PPA@Ni-Al/LDH filled EP possessed a more complete and dense residual carbon after burning. Moreover, the high degree of graphitization of the residual carbon for CS/PPA@Ni-Al/LDH/EP determined its high thermal stability. The lowest cracked gas phase products and CO release of the CS/PPA@Ni-Al/LDH/EP composite coating during TG-IR testing confirmed its lowest fire toxicity. The development of such a composite flame retardant with a graded structure could help to advance the progress of waterborne intumescent fire coatings.
