Conventional luminol co-reactant electrochemiluminescence (ECL) systems suffer from low stability and accuracy due to factors such as the ease of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and inefficient generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) from dissolved oxygen. Inspired by the luminol ECL mechanism mediated by oxygen evolution reaction (OER), the nickel-cobalt layered double hydroxide (NiCo-LDH) hollow nanocages with hollow structure and defect state are used as co-reaction promoters to enhance the ECL emission from the luminol-H O system. Thanks to the hollow structure and defect state, NiCo-LDH hollow nanocages show excellent OER catalytic activity, which can stabilize and efficiently produce ROS and enhance the ECL emission. Additionally, mechanistic exploration suggests that the ROS involved in the co-reaction of the luminol-H O system are derived from the OER reaction process, and there is a positive correlation between ECL intensity and the OER catalytic activity of the co-reaction promoter. The selection of catalysts with excellent OER catalytic activity is a key factor in improving ECL emission. Finally, a dual-mode immunosensor is constructed for the detection and analysis of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) based on the promoting effect of NiCo-LDH hollow nanocages on the luminol-H O ECL system.

Cubic hollow-structured NiCo-LDH was synthesized using a solvothermal method. Subsequently, clay-like TiCT MXenes were electrostatically self-assembled with NiCo layered double hydroxides (NiCo-LDH) to form composites featuring three-dimensional porous heterostructures. The composites were characterized using SEM, TEM, XRD, XPS, and FT-IR spectroscopy.

The growing demand for clean and sustainable energy has driven extensive research into efficient photocatalysts for hydrogen production. However, many semiconductor photocatalysts in this field still face the challenges such as wide band gap, limited visible light absorption, and inefficient separation and transport of photoinduced charges. In this study, nickel-cobalt layered double hydroxide (NiCo-LDH) was synthesized using an "etch-and-grow" method with zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) as a sacrificial template, followed by high-temperature calcination to produce nickel-cobalt mixed metal oxide (NiCo-MMO).

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have attracted significant attention due to their compositional and structural flexibility. However, it is challenging but meaningful to design and fabricate hierarchical mixed-dimensional LDHs with synergistic effects to increase the electrical conductivity of LDHs and promote the intrinsic activity. Herein, 3D hollow NiCo-LDH nanocages decorated porous biochar (3D NiCo-LDH/PBC) has been synthesized by using ZIF-67 as precursor, which was utilized for constructing electrochemical sensing platform to realize simultaneous determination of Cu and Hg.

To enhance the inherent poor conductivity and low cycling stability of dimetallic layered double hydroxides (LDHs) materials, designing a synergistic effect between EDLC capacitors and pseudocapacitors is an efficient strategy. In this paper, we utilized a solvothermal technique employing Co-glycerate as a precursor to prepare sea urchin-like NiCo-LDH hollow spheres anchored on a 3D graphene aerogel. The unique morphology of these hollow microspheres significantly expand the specific surface area and exposes more active sites, while reducing the volume changes of materials during long-term charging and discharging processes.

A NiCoO/NiCoO/Ni foam (NCO/NCO/NF) hybrid composite with a wire-penetrated-cage hierarchical structure was synthesized by growth of bimetallic NiCo metal-organic frameworks (NiCo-MOF) on a NiCo layered double hydroxide (NiCo-LDH) nanowire-modified Ni foam (NF) surface and subsequent heat treatment in air. The NCO/NCO/NF hybrid composite shows higher specific surface area and more active sites than its individual components. The wire-penetrated-cage hierarchical structure of NCO/NCO/NF and the synergistic coupling of NCO hollow nanocages (NCO HNCs), NCO nanowires (NCO NWs) and NF provide a fast electron transfer path, improve the conductivity, accelerate the kinetic reaction rate, and enhance the structural stability.
