Remote Synthesis of Layered Double Hydroxide Nanosheets Through the Automatic Chemical Robot

Abstract

As a family of two-dimensional functional materials, layered double hydroxides(LDHs) have the characteristics of adjustable lamellar element type and proportion, variable interlamellar anion, controllable particle size and thickness, providing a robust platform for photo/electro/thermal-catalysis. With the continuous progress of materials science, the synthesis of LDHs is becoming more and more refined. Herein, to achieve the fine preparation of LDHs materials, especailly for the no-chemical/material researchers, we successfully assembled the automatic synthesis device and wrote corresponding computer software to control this device, and the automatic synthesis of bulk and monolayer LDHs nanosheets on a laboratory scale can be realized. This work paves a new labor-saving way for the fine synthesis of LDHs nanostructures, further improving the development of LDHs-based materials.
