Efficient antimicrobial properties of layered double hydroxide assembled with transition metals via a facile preparation method

Removal of Fluoride from Phosphogypsum Leaching Solution with Phosphate Tailing Based Layered Double Hydroxides: Kinetics and Equilibrium Isotherms

“…After calcination, the interlayer anions of hydrotalcite disappeared, resulting in the insertion site of fluoride ions. As for the absorption peaks at shorter wavelengths under 1000 cm −1 , according to the standard spectrum, it should be the vibration absorption produced by metal oxides/hydroxides in hydrotalcite [29]. From the above explanation, ternary/quaternary layered double hydroxides might be successfully synthesized in this experiment, and the interlayer insertion anions can be determined to be CO 3 2− , OH − and NO 3 − .…”

Layered double hydroxide-based nanocomposite scaffolds in tissue engineering applications

“…In the meantime, electrostatic interactions between the cationic LDHs and negatively charged bacterial surface can cause bacterial growth inhibition. 50 LDHs also show strong ion-exchange potential and porous structures; for example, Zn ion-based LDHs exhibit strong antibacterial properties leading to bone implant's fast regeneration. 51 Peng et al have recently reported an alternative method by preparing Mg-Al, Mg-Fe, Zn-AI, and Zn-Fe LDHs.…”

Understanding the role of surface interactions in the antibacterial activity of layered double hydroxide nanoparticles by atomic force microscopy

“…16,21–25 We have recently reviewed the different antibacterial mechanisms of pristine LDHs. 26 The three main mechanisms proposed in the literature are: (1) membrane and cell wall damage by direct interactions with bacterial surfaces; 16,22,27,28 (2) release of constituent divalent metal ions; 16,21,22,24,27–29 and (3) generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which are well known to be toxic to the bacteria. 22,24,26,27,29 Despite the fact that these three hypotheses were proposed to explain the antimicrobial effect of pristine LDHs, the role of each antibacterial mechanism in the total antimicrobial action has not been determined because the proof of evidence from a real experimental setup is scarce.…”
