Evidences of segregated SnO2 type nanoparticles coating layered double hydroxide at moderate temperature

“…M II and M III are divalent and trivalent cations, A the anions, and intra and inter denote the intralayer domain and the interlayer space, respectively. The structure consists of brucite-like layers constituted of edge-sharing M(OH) 6 octahedra. The partial substitution of the divalent cations by trivalent cations induces a positive charge of the layers, the excess of positive charge is balanced by anions present between the layers.…”

“…It can be carried out without requiring expensive precursors and intricate syntheses. Indeed, various compositions were reported, either by incorporating interlayered species such as those offering a pillaring Fe(CN) 3− 6 [5], oxoanions [6][7][8][9], or Keggin anions [10][11][12] or by direct substitution inside the layers such as Mg 3 Al by Cu or Fe [13], Ni 2 : Fe-Al [14], Zn 2 : Al-Fe [15], Co 2 : Fe-Al [16], Cu-Co 2 : Al [17]. The incorporation of tetravalent cations such as Sn 4+ [18][19][20] and Zr 4+ [21,22] has also been reported.…”
