Article Abstract

CoAl-layered double hydroxide nanosheets (CoAl-NSs) could serve as an active matrix to effectively anchor amorphous MoSx nanoparticles with high dispersion and the formation of an additional active "CoMoS" phase. The resulting CoAl-NSs/MoSx catalyst showed 13 times higher H2 evolution activity than free MoSx nanoparticles from an erythrosin B-triethanolamine (ErB-TEOA) system under visible light.

Monitoring acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity and its inhibitor is crucial yet challenging for the early diagnosis and treatment of neurological diseases. In this study, we present Au nanoparticle decorated CoAl layered double hydroxide monolayer (Au@CoAl-LDH-m) as a peroxidase-like (POD) nanozyme for the sensitive colorimetric detection of AChE and its inhibitor, thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP). Remarkably, the Au@CoAl-LDH-m nanozyme can catalyze the oxidation of chromogenic substrates through its POD-like activity, which is effectively inhibited by thiocholine (TCh, a catalytic product of AChE), thereby enabling detection of AChE and TPP through a visible colorimetric readout.

Under the context of energy shortages and global warming, the photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide (CO) to carbon monoxide (CO) using simulated sunlight has attracted considerable research attention. Herein, three-dimensional (3D) Z-scheme cobalt-alumina-layered double hydroxide/bismuth oxybromide (CoAl-layered double hydroxide (LDH)/BiOBr) heterojunction photocatalysts with oxygen vacancies were constructed by intercalating two-dimensional CoAl-LDH between BiOBr layers in the mechanical mixing. The conversion of CO in the water phase was greatly improved compared to CoAl-LDH/BiOBr under 300-W xenon light.

A novel label-free electrochemical immunosensor for the ultrasensitive determination of cancer antigen (CA724) was developed using a novel composite of CoAl layered double hydroxides (CoAl-LDH) and carboxyl-functionalized multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-COOH) as platform and ferrocenecarboxylic acid (Fc-COOH) as signal label. The MWCNTs-COOH/Fc-COOH@CoAl-LDH composite was prepared by a convenient and simple one-step ultrasonic method, and various characterization techniques consisting of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transimission electronic microscopy (TEM), TEM-Mapping, fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectronic energy spectrum (XPS) were applied to study the size and morphological features. Due to its large specific surface area and multilayer structure, the CoAl-LDH can be post-doped to embed a large amount of signal probe to realize the amplification of the internal reference signal Fc.

The present work describes a quick, simple, and efficient method based on the use of layered double hydroxides (LDH) coupled to dispersive solid phase micro-extraction (DSPME) to remove α-naphthol (α-NAP) and β-naphthol (β-NAP) isomers from water samples. Three different LDHs (MgAl-LDH, NiAl-LDH, and CoAl-LDH) were used to study how the interlayer anion and molar ratio affected the removal performance. The critical factors in the DSPME procedure (pH, LDH amount, contact time) were optimized by the univariate method under the optimal conditions: pH, 4-8; LDH amount, 5 mg; and contact time, 2.

A novel electrochemical method is presented for ultrasensitive detection of the organophosphate pesticide (OPP) fenitrothion by using TiC MXene/CoAl-LDH nanocomposite as the electrode modifier. The TiC MXene/CoAl-LDH nanocomposite is synthesized by growing CoAl-LDH in situ on MXene nanosheets. The combination of two ultrathin 2D materials provides more active sites, larger specific surface area, superior adsorption properties, and better electrical conductivity, which leads to rapid electron-transfer and mass-transfer between the substrate electrode and analytes when it is acted as the electrochemical sensing material.
