Modification of layered double hydroxides using first-row transition metals for superior UV-Vis-NIR absorption and the influence of the synthesis method used

Abstract

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) with high and tailorable UV-Vis-NIR absorption were prepared through transition metal (TM) modification. The synthesis method used and amount of TM present were found to influence the UV-Vis- NIR absorption intensity, -range, and the optical bandgap.https://chemrxiv.orghj2020Chemical Engineerin
