Novel nanosized layered double hydroxide materials and a method of producing the same as well as uses of said material. The novel materials are uniform and have the general formula (I) [M 2+ n 1-x M 3+ n x (OH) 2 ] [A n- n x/n ·zH 2 O] wherein M 2+ is selected from Mg 2+, , Ca 2+ , Mn 2+ , Fe 2+ , Co 2+ , Ni 2+ , and Zn 2+ M 3+ is selected from Al 3+ , V 3+ , Cr 3+ , Fe 3+ , Co 3+ ,Sc 3+ , Ga 3+ , and Y 3+ , A n- stands for an anion, x stands for a value in the range from 0.2 to 0.33, n is an integer from 1 to 4 and z is an integer from 1 to 10. 1 The particle size is less than 1 μm. The material can be used in heterogeneous catalysis in organic chemistry and petrochemistry, magnetic materials, pharmaceutical applications, electrode materials, tissue engineering, cosmetics,and dietary supplements. |
