Hydrodynamic assembly of two-dimensional layered double hydroxide nanostructures.

Project description:Formation mechanisms of two-dimensional nanostructures in wet syntheses are poorly understood. Even more enigmatic is the influence of hydrodynamic forces. Here we use liquid flow cell transmission electron microscopy to show that layered double hydroxide, as a model material, may form via the oriented attachment of hexagonal nanoparticles; under hydrodynamic shear, oriented attachment is accelerated. To hydrodynamically manipulate the kinetics of particle growth and oriented attachment, we develop a microreactor with high and tunable shear rates, enabling control over particle size, crystallinity and aspect ratio. This work offers new insights in the formation of two-dimensional materials, provides a scalable yet precise synthesis method, and proposes new avenues for the rational engineering and scalable production of highly anisotropic nanostructures.

Three-dimensional nickel vanadium layered double hydroxide nanostructures grown on carbon cloth for high-performance flexible supercapacitor applications.

Project description:This study reports the synthesis of ultrathin Ni-V layered double hydroxide nanosheets on carbon cloth (NVL@CC) through adopting a facile and cost-effective method for flexible supercapacitor applications. The as-synthesized NVL@CC possesses a uniform, mechanically strong and highly ordered porous network with connected pores, ensuring high specific capacitance and enhanced cyclability. A high specific capacity of 1226 C g-1 (2790 F g-1) was obtained at 1 A g-1, and it remained at 430 C g-1 (1122 F g-1) even at a higher current density of 10 A g-1. A hybrid supercapacitor (HSC) was assembled with the NVL@CC electrode as the positive electrode and activated carbon coated carbon cloth as the negative electrode (NVL@CC//AC HSC). The devices showed an excellent energy density of 0.69 mW h cm-3 at a power density of 2.5 mW cm-3 with 100% of the original capacitance being retained at a current density of 5 mA cm-2. Furthermore, the devices exhibited an energy density of 0.24 mW h cm-3 even at a higher power density of 214.4 mW cm-3, surpassing the performances observed for many recently reported flexible supercapacitors. Importantly, the electrochemical performance of the solid-state flexible supercapacitors showed a negligible change upon bending and twisting of the devices. The devices showed no decay in specific capacitance and coulombic efficiency up to 5000 charge-discharge cycles, confirming the excellent cycle life of the HSC device. The performance of NVL@CC indicates the great potential of the material for future flexible energy storage devices.

Pure Mg-Al Layered Double Hydroxide Film on Magnesium Alloys for Orthopedic Applications.

Project description:Mg alloys are promising biodegradable orthopedic implants in the future. However, poor corrosion resistance and biocompatibility limit their wide applications. In this study, a pure Mg-Al layered double hydroxide (Mg-Al LDH) film on AZ31 was prepared through combining hydrofluoric acid pretreatment and hydrothermal treatment. Electrochemical analysis and the immersion test suggested that the as-prepared Mg-Al LDH-coated sample exhibited significantly enhanced corrosion resistance. The in vitro cell culture revealed that the Mg-Al LDH film was favorable for the alkaline phosphatase activity, collagen secretion, and osteogenesis-related gene expression of MC3T3-E1. Furthermore, the LDH-coated sample was beneficial for the migration, vascular endothelial growth factor secretion, and angiogenesis-related gene expression of human umbilical vein endothelial cells. The subcutaneous implantation test demonstrated that the Mg-Al LDH film could protect the substrate from corrosion and induce milder inflammation. The femur implantation demonstrated that the Mg-Al LDH sample showed better bone regeneration and osseointegration than bare AZ31. In summary, the as-prepared pure Mg-Al LDH film is able to enhance the in vitro and in vivo performances of AZ31, indicating a promising application in the orthopedic field.

Hydrothermally Tailored Three-Dimensional Ni-V Layered Double Hydroxide Nanosheets as High-Performance Hybrid Supercapacitor Applications.

Project description:Here, we report a facile and easily scalable hydrothermal synthetic strategy to synthesize Ni-V layered double hydroxide (NiV LDH) nanosheets toward high-energy and high-power-density supercapacitor applications. NiV LDH nanosheets with varying Ni-to-V ratios were prepared. Three-dimensional curved nanosheets of Ni0.80V0.20 LDH showed better electrochemical performance compared to other synthesized NiV LDHs. The electrode coated with Ni0.80V0.20 LDH nanosheets in a three-electrode cell configuration showed excellent pseudocapacitive behavior, having a high specific capacity of 711 C g-1 (1581 F g-1) at a current density of 1 A g-1 in 2 M KOH. The material showed an excellent rate capability and retained the high specific capacity of 549 C g-1 (1220 F g-1) at a current density of 10 A g-1 and low internal resistances. Owing to its superior performance, Ni0.80V0.20 LDH nanosheets were used as positive electrode and commercial activated carbon was used as negative electrode for constructing a hybrid supercapacitor (HSC) device, having a working voltage of 1.5 V. The HSC device exhibited a high specific capacitance of 98 F g-1 at a current density of 1 A g-1. The HSC device showed a higher energy density of 30.6 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 0.78 kW kg-1 and maintained a high value of 24 Wh kg-1 when the power density was increased to 11.1 kW kg-1. The performance of NiV LDHs nanosheets indicates their great potential as low-cost electrode material for future energy-storage devices.

A Novel Green Approach to Synthesize Curcuminoid-Layered Double Hydroxide Nanohybrids: Adroit Biomaterials for Future Antimicrobial Applications.

Project description:Thermal instability, photodegradation, and poor bioavailability of natural active ingredients are major drawbacks in developing effective natural product-based antimicrobial formulations. These inherited issues could be fruitfully mitigated by the introduction of natural active ingredients into various nanostructures. This study focuses on the development of a novel green mechanochemical synthetic route to incorporate curcuminoids into Mg-Al-layered double hydroxides. The developed one-pot and scalable synthetic approach makes lengthy synthesis procedures using toxic solvents redundant, leading to improved energy efficiency. The hydrotalcite-shaped nanohybrids consist of surface and interlayer curcuminoids that have formed weak bonds with layered double hydroxides as corroborated by X-ray diffractograms, X-ray photoelectron spectra, and Fourier transmission infrared spectra. The structural and morphological properties resulted in increased thermal stability of curcuminoids. Slow and sustained release of the curcuminoids was observed at pH 5.5 for a prolonged time up to 7 h. The developed nanohybrids exhibited zeroth-order kinetics, favoring transdermal application. Furthermore, the efficacy of curcuminoid incorporated LDHs (CC-LDH) as an anticolonization agent was investigated against four wound biofilm-forming pathogens, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant Staphyloccocus aureus, and Candida albicans, using a broth dilution method and an in vitro biofilm model system. Microbiological studies revealed a 54-58% reduction in biofilm formation ability of bacterial pathogens in developed nanohybrids compared to pure curcuminoids. Therefore, the suitability of these green-chemically synthesized CC-LDH nanohybrids for next-generation antimicrobial applications with advanced dermatological/medical properties is well established.

A class of novel luminescent layered double hydroxide nanotubes.

Project description:Herein, we report a class of novel lanthanide-doped self-supported layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanotubes featuring a combination of micro- and mesoporosity. The synthesis of the nanotubes has been achieved by a soft-templating strategy. Incorporation of La3+, Pr3+, Nd3+, Sm3+, Eu3+, Gd3+ or Tb3+ in the LDHs assisted the self-assembly of the double hydroxide layers onto the surface of Pluronic P-123 worm-like micelles, enabling the formation of the nanotubes. Removal of the micellar template provides accessibility to the mesopores, yielding a network of hollow cylindrical nanotubes with internal diameter of about 10 nm. An antenna molecule (benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate, BTC) is hosted in their 1-nanometre-wide micropores. Upon UV excitation, the nanotubes emit light in a set of wavelengths ranging from the ultraviolet to the infrared.

Structure and release properties of pyrethroid/sulfobutyl ether β-cyclodextrin intercalated into layered double hydroxide and layered hydroxide salt.

Project description:The aim of this study was to realize the intercalation of the pyrethroid pesticides beta-cypermethrin (BCT) and lambda-cyhalothrin (LCT) into ZnAl-layered double hydroxides (LDH) and NiZn-layered hydroxide salt (LHS). BCT (LCT)/SBECD-LDH and BCT (LCT)/SBECD-LHS hybrids were obtained with the aid of sulfobutyl ether β-cyclodextrin (SBECD) through one step method. The hybrids were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis (TGA/DTA). The hybrids based on LHS had larger basal spacing than those on LDH. The LDH-hybrids prepared in N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) had larger basal spacing than those in ethanol. These results were discussed in terms of the matrix structure and solvent properties. The supramolecular structure of the hybrid was reasonably proposed. Furthermore, the release properties of BCT (LCT) from the hybrids were investigated and discussed in two media. The release rate in pH = 5.0 was slower than that in pH = 6.8. The accumulated release amount of pesticide in pH = 5.0 was lower than that in pH = 6.8. LHS-hybrids synthesized in ethanol exhibit a sustainable release property. These depend on the inclusion complexes' arrangement and release medium. The release kinetic processes could be described by pseudo-second order and parabolic diffusion models. The release behavior can be controlled by adjusting the synthesis conditions and the releasing media. This provides the guidance for the application of SBECD and LDH (LHS) in pesticide formulation.

Layered double hydroxide membrane with high hydroxide conductivity and ion selectivity for energy storage device.

Project description:Membranes with fast and selective ions transport are highly demanded for energy storage devices. Layered double hydroxides (LDHs), bearing uniform interlayer galleries and abundant hydroxyl groups covalently bonded within two-dimensional (2D) host layers, make them superb candidates for high-performance membranes. However, related research on LDHs for ions separation is quite rare, especially the deep-going study on ions transport behavior in LDHs. Here, we report a LDHs-based composite membrane with fast and selective ions transport for flow battery application. The hydroxide ions transport through LDHs via vehicular (standard diffusion) & Grotthuss (proton hopping) mechanisms is uncovered. The LDHs-based membrane enables an alkaline zinc-based flow battery to operate at 200 mA cm-2, along with an energy efficiency of 82.36% for 400 cycles. This study offers an in-depth understanding of ions transport in LDHs and further inspires their applications in other energy-related devices.

Layered Double Hydroxide Nanotransporter for Molecule Delivery to Intact Plant Cells.

Project description:Here we report a powerful method that facilitates the transport of biologically active materials across the cell wall barrier in plant cells. Positively charged delaminated layered double hydroxide lactate nanosheets (LDH-lactate-NS) with a 0.5‒2 nm thickness and 30‒60 nm diameter exhibit a high adsorptive capacity for negatively charged biomolecules, including fluorescent dyes such as tetramethyl rhodamine isothiocyanate (TRITC), fluorescein isothiocyanate isomer I(FITC) and DNA molecules, forming neutral LDH-nanosheet conjugates. These neutral conjugates can shuttle the bound fluorescent dye into the cytosol of intact plant cell very efficiently. Furthermore, typical inhibitors of endocytosis and low temperature incubation did not prevent LDH-lactate-NS internalization, suggesting that LDH-lactate-NS penetrated the plasma membrane via non-endocytic pathways, which will widen the applicability to a variety of plant cells. Moreover, the absence of unwanted side effects in our cytological studies, and the nuclear localization of ssDNA-FITC suggest that nano-LDHs have potential application as a novel gene carrier to plants.

Solubilized chlorin e6-layered double hydroxide complex for anticancer photodynamic therapy.

Project description:BackgroundLayered double hydroxides (LDHs) are one type of 2-dimensional material with unique structure and strongly positive surface charge. Particularly, LDHs can be exfoliated by mono-layered double hydroxides (MLHs) as a single layer, showing an increased surface area. Therefore, there is a large focus on LDHs for drug delivery applications. Furthermore, most photosensitizers are hydrophobic that they cannot be soluble in aqueous solvents. Herein, we designed a simple way to solubilize hydrophobic photosensitizers by MLH with electrostatic interactions for anticancer photodynamic therapy (PDT), which has tremendous therapeutic advantages. The photosensitizer solubilized via loading on the MLH exhibited fluorescence and singlet oxygen-generation activities in aqueous solvent without chemical modification, resulting in photo-mediated anticancer treatment.MethodsNegatively charged hydrophobic photosensitizers, chlorin e6 (Ce6) were solubilized by loading on the MLHs through the electrostatic interaction between positively charged MLHs. MLH/Ce6 complexes evaluated for physico-chemical characterization, pH-sensitive release property, in vitro photocytotoxicity, and in vivo tumor ablation.ResultsThe photosensitizer solubilized via MLH exhibited fluorescence intensity and singlet-oxygen generation activities in aqueous solvent without chemical modification, resulting photocytotoxicity in cancer cells. The encapsulation efficiency of Ce6 increased to 21.2% through MLH compared to 0.6% when using LDH. In tumor-bearing mice, PDT with solubilized MLH/Ce6 indicated a tumor-suppressing effect approximately 3.4-fold greater than that obtained when Ce6 was injected alone.ConclusionsThis study provided the solubilized Ce6 by the MLH in a simple way without chemical modification. We demonstrated that MLH/Ce6 complexes would have a great potential for anticancer PDT.
