Abstract
Layered double hydroxides, a rare family of anion-exchangeable functional materials with broad application prospects, have received much attention both in academic research reports and technological patents. It was recently discovered that they could be exfoliated into unilamellar nanosheets in different solvents. Especially, well-defined LDH nanosheets can be obtained through total delamination, in formamide, of large-sized crystallites prepared from homogeneous precipitation using hydrolysis agents. Bearing a positive charge at a two-dimensional molecular scale, layered double hydroxide nanosheets can be used as a model system for electrostatic layer-by-layer assembly in combination with polyanionic counterparts (polymer, DNA, oxide nanosheets, etc.) for various functional nanoarchitectures, such as lamellar aggregates, multilayer nanofilms and nanoshells.

Advances in Vanadium and Titanium Resources for High-performance Materials via Nanostructuring and Nanoengineering (updated BMS-NANOTEC-2023-HT-31)
Vanadium and titanium-based materials are ideal candidates for structural and functional materials in aerospace, biomedical engineering, optics, catalysis, energy storage and conversion etc. Vanadium/titanium-based alloys, compounds and materials have a large family with different chemical compositions, dimensions, structures/morphologies, and chemical/physical/mechanical properties, which provides huge opportunities for the development of emerging ...read more
Green Nanotechnology and Nanomaterials for a Sustainable Environment
Green nanotechnology (GN) might wind up being the most efficient platform for achieving the goals of the 2030 Agenda. The goal of GN is to create goods and procedures that are secure, energy-efficient, waste-free, and emit fewer greenhouse gases. Such goods and procedures use renewable resources, and/or their environmental impact ...read more
