“…In the last few decades, inorganic compounds with layered structure such as cationic and anionic clays (Choy, Kwak, Park, Jeong, & Portier, 1999; Choy, Kwak, Jeong, & Park, 2000; Choy, Oh, Park, Shon, & Kim, 2004; Khan & O'Hare, 2002; Ogawa & Kuroda, 1995; Vaccari, 1999), have been extensively studied in various research aspects; for example, flame retardants (Q. Wang, Zhang, Zhu, Guo, & O'Hare, 2012; J. H. Yang et al, 2015), catalysts (Lu et al, 2014; Zhao, Wei, Lu, Wang, & Duan, 2009), polymer compounding materials and traditional medicines (Choy, Choi, Oh, & Park, 2007; Choy et al, 2004; Paek, Oh, & Choy, 2011; Ruiz‐Hitzky, 2003), and so on. Owing to the rapid development of nano‐bio convergence technologies, such two‐dimensional (2D) materials were considered to be important nanomedical systems for future use (Alcântara, Aranda, Darder, & Ruiz‐Hitzky, 2010; Chen, Gunawan, Lou, & Xu, 2012; G. Choi, Jeon, Piao, & Choy, 2018; Darder, López‐Blanco, Aranda, Leroux, & Ruiz‐Hitzky, 2005; Jiang et al, 2020; Rocha et al, 2016; S. Wang, Yang, Zhou, Li, & Chen, 2020; Wu et al, 2020). In particular, biocompatible layered double hydroxide (LDH) was challenged as the gene delivery vehicle for the first time in the late 1900 by Choy and his colleagues (Choy et al, 1999), which was indeed the first example of advanced drug delivery system (DDS) based on LDHs.…”
