Delamination and re-assembly of surfactant-containing Li/Al layered double hydroxides

Exchange of the chloride anion intercalated in [LiAl2(OH)6]Cl.nH2O with a range of surfactants is reported. Attempts to delaminate (or exfoliate) the surfactant-exchanged intercalates, where the surfactant was an alkyl sulfate, were unsuccessful. In contrast, delamination of the layered double hydro...
