Lamella Structure of Zinc Aluminum Layered Double Hydroxide as Molecular Containers for the Preparation of Mesoporous Carbon

Open lamella systems such as layered double hydroxides (LDHs) can be used to generate new nanostructured materials of layered organic-inorganic nanohybrid type. The inorganic Zn-Al-layered double hydroxide (ZAL) was used as a matrix, hosting an active agent or a guest, toluene-4-sulphonate (TSA),...
