Dandelion-Like CuCoO@ NiMn LDH Core/Shell Nanoflowers for Excellent Battery-Type Supercapacitor.

Dandelion-like CuCoO nanoflowers (CCO NFs) with ultrathin NiMn layered double hydroxide (LDH) shells were fabricated via a two-step hydrothermal method. The prepared CuCoO@NiMn LDH core/shell nanoflowers (CCO@NM LDH NFs) possessed a high specific surface area (~181 m·g) with an average pore size of ~256 nm. Herein, the CCO@NM LDH NFs exhibited the typical battery-type electrode material with a specific capacity of 2156.

Boosting photocatalytic CO reduction Schottky junction with ZnCr layered double hydroxide nanoflakes aggregated on 2D TiCT cocatalyst.

Designing efficient photocatalysts is vital for the photoreduction of CO to produce solar fuels, helping to alleviate issues of fossil fuel depletion and global warming. In this work, a novel ZnCr-LDH/TiCT Schottky junction is successfully synthesized using an coprecipitation method. ZnCr-LDH nanoflakes collectively grow on the surface of TiCT MXene nanosheets.
