“…20(a) [203,204]. In an alkaline environment, a thin layer of hydrotalcite-like zincowoodwardite plates was first formed as a result of the reaction between zinc and aluminum ions [203,205,206]. Zincowoodwardite belongs to a family of layered compounds with positively charged layers of Zn 2+ and Al 3+ with hydroxide anions, and interlayer charge-balancing anions SO 4 2− .…”

“…Moreover, the thin ZnO seed layer provided a continuous pathway for carrier transport for electronic applications [245,247]. In another report [203], a thin layer of Al was coated onto carbon nanotube so that a hydrotalcite-like zinc aluminum hydroxide interfacial compound formed [205,206], which was very effective in promoting the growth of ZnO nanorods.…”

One-dimensional (1D) ZnO nanostructures have been studied intensively and extensively over the last decade not only for their remarkable chemical and physical properties, but also for their current and future diverse technological applications. This article gives a comprehensive overview of the progress that has been made within the context of 1D ZnO nanostructures synthesized via wet chemical methods. We will cover the synthetic methodologies and corresponding growth mechanisms, different structures, doping and alloying, positioncontrolled growth on substrates, and finally, their functional properties as catalysts, hydrophobic surfaces, sensors, and in nanoelectronic, optical, optoelectronic, and energy harvesting devices.

“…It is still a one-step recipe that guarantees quite a good adhesion and morphology [30][31][32]. Instead of adopting dissolved metal salts, one of the two metals is provided as a substrate, which behaves either as a sacrificing element for the film growing on it, or a reacting source of one of the corresponding metal.…”

The peculiar properties of layered Double Hydroxides (LDH) have progressively drawn the attention of the scientific community. The main characteristic of LDH is the ability to capture anionic species (organic and inorganic) to build different composites. This is made possible by the sandwich structure of the LDH, similar to the brucite architecture, made up of positive charged lamellas interspersed by anions. Several distant fields, ranging from medicine to physics and engineering, exhibit interest in LDH applications. To satisfy all those requirements, energy was spent to sculpt LDHs physical and chemical properties and for designing layered double hydroxides "ad hoc" for different needs and employments. Notably, among the many applications, those related to metallurgical processes and products are of particular interest. This paper presents the characteristics, the main preparation routes and reviews the applications of LDH to metallurgy with some examples taken from the experimental research of the author.

“…This is one more one-step method for direct deposition of LDH films with good adhesion and controllable morphology [30][31][32]. It could be considered a sort of modified co-precipitation method in that one of the two metals is not provided by the respective dissolved salt but instead by the substrate itself.…”

“…In the last decade, different groups [30][31][32] have demonstrated that LDH films can be deposited on metal surfaces by using aluminium or zinc foils as sacrificing substrates for the in-situ growth that is a sort of modified coprecipitation method as described in paragraph 1.3.5. Those studies were mainly addressed applications of LDHs as anticorrosion coatings or functionalized electrodes for electrical batteries and capacitors.…”

Fifty-eight years ago Fenman, during an American Physical Society meeting at the California Institute of Technology, anticipated the problem of modifying and governing the world of the infinitely small. what is possible in principle… We are not doing it simply because we haven't yet gotten around to it." Useless to say how profound his sensibility for science was. We've just begun to walk in this enormous field, toward the assembly of devices atom by atom. What we did till now is still rudimentary. Anyhow we believe that Layered Double Hydroxides could play a role in manufacturing these nanometric equipments.Layered Double Hydroxides (LDHs) are 2D ionic lamellar nano-materials belonging to the group of anionic clays. Their structure consists of positively charged brucite-like layers and intercalated anions. The layered structure, together with the flexibility to intercept different anionic species in variable compositions, both inorganic and organic, has attracted increasing interest. In order to meet specific requirements in very distant fields, considerable efforts were made to tailor the physical/chemical properties of LDHs and to design engineered LDH for several applications, ranging from anticorrosion coatings, flame-retardants, catalysis, to water treatment/purification, and biomedical applications. Furthermore they have been applied in energy harvesting and conversion, thanks to the possibility of substituting the composing metals with transition metals.Within the framework of this contribution, we first briefly review the development of synthesis processes ( §1). In Paragraph 2, examples of the LDHs applications are reported. We will than focus on our laboratory experimental activities, showing the growth of the structures either on printed circuit tracks for applications of LDHs as gas sensors and biosensors. One more application is in nanostructured-modified textiles.
