Magnesium aluminum-layered double-hydroxide nanoparticles (LDH NPs) are promising drug-delivery vehicles for gene therapy, particularly for siRNA interference; however, the interactions between oligo-DNA and LDH surfaces have not been adequately elucidated. Through a mechanistic study, oligo-DNA initially appears to rapidly bind strongly to the LDH outer surfaces through interactions with their phosphate backbones via ligand exchange with OH on Mg centers and electrostatic forces with Al. These initial interactions might precede diffusion into interlayer spaces, and this knowledge can be used to design better gene therapy delivery systems.

The coadsorption of anionic and cationic pollutants on adsorbents holds considerable importance in the development of relevant removal technologies and the understanding of pollutant transport in complex environmental media. Herein, tungsten (W), an emerging contaminant, and nickel (Ni) were chosen as two differently charged inorganic pollutants to investigate their removal characteristics on a magnesium-aluminum layered double hydroxide (LDH) prepared via microwave radiation. In the single systems, the amount of adsorbed W on LDH was initially increased and then decreased with increasing initial W concentration.

Dark fermentation (DF) is prone to low hydrogen (H) yield. In this work, magnesium aluminum-layered double hydroxide and carbonized humic acid (MgAl-LDH/CHA) was synthesized by co-precipitation to reveal the mechanism in rising bioH generation. The results indicated that MgAl-LDH released Mg and Al ions slowly in DF system, improving the activity of H-producing microbes (HPM) for more H.

This paper deals with the preparation of a novel nanocomposite consisted of magnesium-aluminum layered double hydroxide (Mg-Al LDH) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) as well as melamine (MA) as an adsorbent. This nanocomposite was utilized to adsorb different dyes such as rhodamine B (RhB) and methylene blue (MB) from water. The prepared adsorbent was characterized using FT-IR, EDS, XRD, TGA, and FE-SEM analyses.

While photocatalytic technology has brought additional opportunities and possibilities for the green conversion and sustainable development of ammonium-based nitrogen fertilizers, the low activation efficiency of the molecular N has impeded its further application feasibility. Here to address the concern, we designed an amorphous molybdenum hydroxide anchored on the ultrathin magnesium-aluminum layered double hydroxide (Mo@MgAl-LDH) nanosheets for benefiting the N photofixation to NH. With the aid of the designed amorphous Mo(V) species, the pristine MgAl-LDH exhibited a considerable performance of nitrogen photofixation under visible light irradiation (NH production rate of 114.
