Low-cost, efficient and stable electrocatalysts are required for large-scale production of hydrogen by industrial scale water electrolysis. We report here a hybrid bifunctional electrocatalyst, composed of amorphous NiFe LDH nanosheets and metallic Ni3N microsheet arrays grown on Ni foam for water splitting in alkaline electrolyte. This electrocatalyst possesses a typical 3D hierarchical heterostructure architecture and affords abundant exposed active sites. The strong coupling and synergistic effects between the NiFe LDH nanosheets and the Ni3N microsheet arrays provide a robust integrated structure and fast electron transfer. The superhydrophilic/superaerophobic properties of the electrocatalyst promote the mass transfer particularly at a large current density. By employing the NiFe LDH@Ni3N/NF as a bifunctional electrocatalyst for overall water splitting, an alkaline aqueous electrolyzer exhibits a low cell voltage of 1.80 V at a current density of 500 mA cm−2 with a remarkable durability of 100 h. The bifunctional NiFe LDH@Ni3N/NF electrocatalyst is a very promising candidate for scale-up industrial implementation of hydrogen production due to its excellent catalysis activity and high stability.

Elimination of U(VI) from polluted solutions is important for human health and environmental safety. In this work, a relatively low-cost 3D flower-like phosphate-functionalized layered double hydroxides (phos-LDH) was fabricated by a one-pot hydrothermal method. The prepared phos-LDH inherited the structure of 3D flower-like layered double hydroxides (LDH), and had a higher specific surface area (∼203.4 m 2 ⋅g −1 ) than that of LDH. The kinetic process indicated that U(VI) adsorption onto phos-LDH achieved equilibrium within 15 min and obeyed general order model. The adsorption isotherms of phos-LDH illustrated that the U(VI) adsorption obeyed Langmuir model, the adsorption capability of phos-LDH can reach 923.1 mg⋅g −1 at 298 K. The U(VI) adsorption was a spontaneous and endothermic process according to the thermodynamic data. There was the electrostatic attraction between U(VI) and phos-LDH at pH = 5.0. FTIR and XPS analyses educed that the hydroxyl and phosphate groups played a very useful role for the complexation between U(VI) and phos-LDH. In addition, the excellent selective adsorption capability for U(VI) in competitive cation and anion solutions further confirmed the practical application of phos-LDH in real wastewater treatment.

Antimony enrichment in aquatic environments is of great concern to international community. High-temperature geothermal waters usually contain excessive Sb, which are apt to contaminate the groundwaters or surface waters used as drinking waters in and around a hydrothermal area. However, Sb removal from geothermal water is rarely documented and the effect of high temperature on Sb removal has not received much attention. In this study, batch sorption experiments were conducted to investigate Sb removal from water by a hydroxyl-intercalated, mechanochemically synthesized Mg-Fe-LDH (i.e. Mg-Fe-OH-LDH) capable of avoiding secondary pollutions commonly related to other Mg-Fe-LDH intercalated by undesirable anions, such as Cl − and NO 3 − . The sorption capacities of Mg-Fe-OH-LDH for Sb(III) and Sb(V) were up to 48.7 and 30.0 mg/g, respectively. Notably, Mg-Fe-OH-LDH performed even better in removing aqueous Sb(V) at higher temperatures, superior to sorption of Sb by iron oxides that is generally exothermic and tends to be inhibited by increasing reaction temperature. The removal of Sb(V) existing as Sb(OH) 6 − by Mg-Fe-OH-LDH was attributable to its exchange with interlayer hydroxyl, and therefore could be impaired to some degree by coexisting anions with stronger electronegativity or smaller ionic radii . In contrast, anion exchange didn't contribute so much to Sb(III) sorption, because the main Sb(III) species at pH < 10 is neutral Sb(OH) 3 . XPS analyses confirmed that inner-sphere complexation between sorbed Sb(III) and Fe on Mg-Fe-OH-LDH layers was formed, which was hardly affected by competitive anions. Mg-Fe-OH-LDH is promising to be practically applied in removing both Sb(III) and Sb(V) from contaminated natural waters, wastewaters, or geothermal waters potentially acting as a pollution source .

Constructing a reasonable electrode material structure is significant for the sensitivity and selectivity of glucose detection. Herein, in this paper, the three-dimensional (3D) hierarchically layered double hydroxides (CC@CCH MOF LDH) is prepared by using carbon cloth (CC) as the conductive base, cobalt carbonate nanorod (CCH) as the guiding template and metal organic framework (MOF) as the sacrifice template. This unique 3D hierarchical structure facilitates the rapid transfer of ions and the reversible redox reaction. Moreover, the electrochemical tests confirm that the material has excellent electrocatalytic oxidation activity in alkaline solution. The amperometric detection results reveal that CC@CCH MOF LDH electrode material possesses better selectivity, higher sensitivity (4310 μA·mM−1·cm−2), fast amperometric response (<6 s), wide linear range (0.001-2 mM) and low detection limit (110 nM) under the optimal conditions, which is expected to be a high performance enzyme-free glucose sensor.

Vast volume expansion of Si-based materials severely deteriorates the electrochemical performance of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). To overcome this problem, we designed and synthesized Si@NiAl-LDH (layered double hydroxide) hybrid composites with the unique hollow core-shell structure via a re-precipitation and in situ growth process. In principle, the core of Si nanoparticles (Si NPs) can contribute to a high Li-storage capacity, the void space between the shell of LDH and the Si-core can effectively tolerate the volume expansion of Si NPs, and the shell can maintain the structural integrity and contribute to the electrochemical performance as well. As demonstrated, when used as the anode materials of LIBs, Si@NiAl-LDH exhibited much enhanced electrochemical performance as compared with the LDHs. The Si@NiAl-LDH electrode had a reversible capacity of 534 mAhg −1 after 60 cycles at 50 mAg −1 while that of NiAl-LDH was 343 mAhg −1 only. Regarding the rate performance, the Si@NiAl-LDH electrode could revert to 565 mAhg −1 after a rate test, while that of NiAl-LDH electrode was 353 mAhg −1 only. Obviously, the obtained clear structure-property relationship of the anode materials will be very conducive to the design and synthesis of the high-performance next-generation materials for energy storage and conversion.

Development of sensitive, selective, and facile electrochemical analytical approaches to monitor tryptophan in different samples is of high significance. For such approaches, efficient electrodes play the key role. Herein, a NiMn-layered double hydroxide (LDH)@poly- l -lysine (PLL) composite has been prepared through in-situ electro-polymerization and further utilized to monitor tryptophan in medicament and biological systems. The as-synthesized NiMn-LDH@PLL composite is highly stable and features a flower-like morphology. It is found that the electron transfer rate of NiMn-LDH@PLL is greatly improved due to the introduction of PLL. The existing Lewis acid—base interaction between LDH and PLL contributes to the increase of unsaturated metal sites and endows this heterojunction composite with high electrocatalytic activity . Especially, the NiMn-LDH (2:1)@PLL composite displays much improved electrochemical response toward tryptophan sensing. This is due to reasonable balance between the outstanding electrocatalytic ability of nickel and the conductivity improvement caused by manganese species. On the other hand, the coordination promotion between NiMn-LDH and PLL is also conducive to improve the sensitivity of electrochemical response. The fabricated sensor exhibits wide linear response in the concentration ranges of 0.1–40 μM and 40–130 μM for tryptophan detection, along with a low detection limit of 52.7 nM. It further displays a high anti-interference ability for tryptophan monitoring even in the presence of other coexistent amino acids and small-sized biological molecules. This study provides a new way to employ LDHs as brilliant sensing platform to ensemble electrochemical sensors for the monitoring of biomolecules.

Various value-added chemicals such as formic acid , carbon monoxide , methane, methanol, have been obtained using CO 2 as a feedstock. However, formaldehyde generation from CO 2 is less reported. Here, we performed CO 2 hydrogenation with H 2 in additive-free water and used layered double hydroxide supported Ru as the heterogeneous catalyst. It was found that gaseous CO 2 and H 2 could be efficiently and selectively converted to formaldehyde dissolved in water even at room temperature with ambient pressure. The highest gaseous CO 2 conversion of 89.7% and a formaldehyde yield of 58.7% were achieved using a Ru/LDH-red catalyst in water at 30 °C with 10 bar CO 2 and 10 bar H 2 . Combined with experimental and theoretical studies, HCOOH was found as the important reaction intermediate. The rich surface –OH of LDH and hybrid electronic state of Ru over Ru/LDH-red catalyst resulted in highly efficient HCHO formation. Our findings offer opportunities to one energy-efficient formaldehyde synthesis method.

Fluoride contamination in groundwater and the disposal of spent adsorbents remain critical environmental challenges. Herein, a series of monolithic Ca-containing MgAl layered double hydroxide/polyacrylonitrile nanofiber membranes (Mg 2-x Ca x Al-LDH/PAN) were fabricated via electrospinning, which combine the high adsorption performance of LDH with the exceptional separability of nanofibrous matrices. Mg 1.9 Ca 0.1 Al-LDH/PAN showed 96.2% removal efficiency for 10 mg/L F - and maximum adsorption capacity of 16.7 mg/g at 25 °C in a batch reactor, and achieved a specific treatment rate of 150 L/kg/h in a fixed-bed column. The adsorption mechanisms were elucidated through combined experimental and DFT studies. More importantly, rather than following conventional regeneration routes, the spent fluoride-laden adsorbent was converted through pyrolysis into a fluorine-doped carbon-based electrode material. This upcycled material retained a high-surface-area fibrous structure and exhibited enhanced oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity compared to its non-fluorinated counterpart. This work presents an “adsorb-and-transform” paradigm that integrates efficient water decontamination with sustainable recovery of functional materials for energy applications.

Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and 8-Hydroxyquinoline (8-HQ) intercalated layered double hydroxides (LDH) sheets were in-situ formed in MAO layer to prepare a composite coating (CI@LDH-MAO) on AZ31 magnesium alloy . This composite coating demonstrates commendable anti-corrosion performance, primarily attributed to the formation of LDH sheets and insoluble Mg(HQ) 2 compounds. The electrochemical impedance modulus of the composite coating surpasses that of the MAO coating by three orders of magnitude after immersion of 360 h. Concurrently, the CI@LDH-MAO composite coating exhibits exemplary tribological properties, characterized by a friction coefficient of approximately 0.19 and a wear rate of (11.5 ± 1.5)× 10 −6 mm 3 /(N·m). This outstanding tribological performance can be ascribed to enhanced interaction of lubricants with the friction interface by 8-HQ and SDS anions.

The existence of redundant nitrate (NO 3 − ) and ammonium (NH 4 + ) in water caused negative impacts on the ecosystem's stability while the simultaneous removal of these nitrogenous substances has become a challenging task. The intimately coupled photocatalysis and biodegradation (ICPB) system has shown great potential in the efficient removal of aquatic pollutants. In this study, the FeMgAl layered double hydroxide (FeMgAl-LDH) capable of removing NO 3 − and NH 4 + concurrently through adsorption and photocatalysis was successfully synthesized based on the hydrothermal method. The characterization of the material has verified its lamellar structure and the inclusion of metal oxide phases. Then, the ICPB system was constructed by coupling FeMgAl-LDH and biofilm from activated sludge onto a polyurethane carrier. After 12-hour water treatment , the ICPB system could realize 54.45 % and 42.57 % of the NO 3 − and NH 4 + removal rates at a pH of 7 and dissolved oxygen (DO) of 2 mg/L, which was superior to the single photocatalysis and biological treatment. The removal performances of the ICPB system under different pH and DO levels were assayed. Meanwhile, microbial activities , community variation, and relational genes were studied to analyze the microbial mechanisms. The microorganisms in the ICPB system possessed high activity to form extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs), nitrogen transformation, and electron transfer . In all, this study constructed a new ICPB system and revealed its mechanism to simultaneously remove the NO 3 − and NH 4 + from the water.

In this study, a novel Z-scheme Bi 19 S 27 Br 3 /CoAl-LDH heterojunction was prepared. An interface charge transfer channel was established between Bi 19 S 27 Br 3 and CoAl-LDH, accelerating the transition efficiency of interface electrons from CoAl-LDH to Bi 19 S 27 Br 3 . Thereby ensuring more excited electrons to participate in CO 2 photoreduction reactions. The reduction products were tested under artificial light conditions, and triethanolamine was selected as a sacrificial agent. After 5 h of illumination, the CO yield of Bi 19 S 27 Br 3 /CoAl-LDH Z-scheme heterojunction was 86.41 μmol·g −1 is 4 times and 7 times higher than Bi 19 S 27 Br 3 and CoAl-LDH, respectively. The yield of CH 4 in Bi 19 S 27 Br 3 /CoAl-LDH is 3.97 μmol·g −1 is 4 times higher than CoAl-LDH. Also Bi 19 S 27 Br 3 itself does not produce CH 4 . The results indicate that the Z-scheme heterojunction effectively enhances the photoreduction ability of CO 2 , providing a new approach for accurately controlling the direction of photo generated charge separation to prepare high-performance photocatalysts.

The development of highly active and robust OER catalysts is the key to address the constraints on the efficiency of electrocatalytic water splitting technology. Herein, CoNi-pristine was synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method, further phosphorylation treatment and construction of heterojunctions to synthesize efficient oxygen evolution catalysts. The OER catalytic performance of the material was greatly enhanced by the advantages of proper self-supporting 3D morphology, formation of heterogeneous interfaces and the synergistic effect of CoNiP and NiFe LDH. In 1 M KOH, CoNiP@NiFe LDH/NF only requires an overpotential of 207 mV to reach a current density of 10 mA cm−2 and operates at high current densities for more than 120 h without significant decay. It provides assistance for the rational design of interface-engineered heterostructures based on the synthesis of OER catalysts with high catalytic activity.
