“…Much research has been done to study these hybrid materials' spectral, photochemical, and photophysical properties due to the stability and interlayer protection of the inorganic host structure [87][88][89][90]. At the same time, the chromophore species has an optical function such as color [91], thermochromicity [92], luminescence [93][94], formation of singlet oxygen [95], nonlinear optical properties, photo-oxidation [96], or UV absorption [97]. This study is important for developing layered materials for energy storage and conversion, photocatalysis, sunscreens, and even devices for sensing or photochemistry.…”

Zinc Layered hydroxide (ZLH) is a layered material easily synthesized with a structure identical to brucite-like material. Due to the exchangeable anions in the interlayer compensating for the positive charge of a brucite-type layer, ZLH provides a wide application in many fields. This review focuses on the properties and method of synthesis of ZLH by giving an overview of intercalated guest anion in the interlayer of ZLH. The further discussion involved the application of intercalated guest anion in zinc layered hydroxide layer and its properties as a sensitizer, controlled release biomedical, and agriculture to provide the scientific community for research and development by giving current findings. This brief review also presents the success of anion intercalation for controlled release along with the kinetic model involved, which increases the bioavailability and effectiveness of the nanocomposite on its target. It shows the development of research on ZLH nanocomposites toward the sustainability of human life and the environment. This study implies that it is a source of knowledge for researchers about zinc-layered hydroxide materials involving synthesis methods and their application to produce more beneficial nanomaterials.

“…As a major way to generate ultrafast lasers, passively mode-locked laser has received extensive attention due to its compactness and miniaturization. Compared with semiconductor saturable absorber mirrors, 2D materials SAs have broadband absorption properties and simple fabrication process, so 2D materials as SAs have received extensive attention in recent years [6][7][8]. Compared with 1 m solid state laser, 1.3 m modelocked laser is more difficult to produce because of the smaller emission cross-section of the laser medium.…”

The application of two-dimensional (2D) materials as saturable absorbers (SAs) in ultrafast solid-state lasers has become a research hotspot due to its broadband absorption properties and simple fabrication process. However, the development of ultrafast solid-state lasers based on 2D material SAs is not mature, especially for mid infrared wavelengths. In this paper, the morphology and optical properties of zirconium pentatelluride (ZrTe5) are characterized. Using ZrTe5 as SAs, the picosecond continuous wave mode-locked (CWML) pulses with repetition frequencies of tens of MHz are obtained at 1 nm, 1.3 nm and 2 nm, respectively. The corresponding spectral centers are 1065.6 nm, 1343.3 nm and 2014.3 nm, respectively. For the 3 nm ultrashort laser, a passively mode-locked solidstate laser based on two-dimensional materials is realized for the first time, and a passively Q-switched mode-locked pulse with a pulse width of 800 ps and a repetition frequency of 180 MHz is obtained. Our results demonstrate the excellent modulation effect and great application potential of ZrTe5 in solid-state ultrafast lasers, which also proves the broadband absorption characteristics of ZrTe5.

“…Compared with other 2D materials, LDHs exhibit more diverse electronic-photon interaction due to the natural interaction between anions and photons and the interactions between functionalized LDH nanolayers and photons. In 2021, our team used LDH as a saturable absorber in laser modulation for the first time [8]. Using Nickel-vanadium (NiV)-LDH as SA, a stable passively Q-switched laser operation at 2014.01 nm with a pulse width of 398 ns and a repetition rate of 101.8 kHz was realized [8].…”

Due to the advantages of ultra-broad bandwidth absorption and easy fabrication, passively mode-locked ultrashort lasers using two-dimensional (2D) materials as saturable absorbers (SA) have attracted extensive attention in recent years. In this experiment, the structure and light absorption properties of 2D nickel-cobalt layered double metal hydroxide (NiCo-LDH) nanosheets are characterized. The nonlinear absorption coefficient of NiCo-LDH are measured by Z-scan method to be -1.1 cm/GW. Using the NiCo-LDH SA, passively mode-locking is realized in a Nd:YVO4 bulk laser near 1 m, a Nd:Y0.15V0.85O4 bulk laser near 1.3 m and a Tm:YAG ceramic bulk laser near 2 m. In the 1 m passively mode-locking experiment, a continuous wave mode-locking (CWML) laser is obtained at 1065.92 nm with a repetition rate of 69 MHz and a pulse width of 18.0 ps. To our knowledge, this is the first time a CWML laser has been obtained using a layered double hydroxides (LDHs) SA. In addition, Q-switched mode-locking (QML) lasers are obtained based on NiCo-LDH SA at 1.3 m and 2 m. The experiments demonstrate that NiCo-LDH mode locking is a very promising practical technique for directly generating ultrashort pulsed laser from a laser oscillator.
