Article Abstract

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are promising compounds in a wide range of fields. However, exchange of CO anions with other anions is necessary, because the CO anions are strongly affixed in the LDH interlayer space. To elucidate the reason for the extremely high stability of CO anions intercalated in LDHs, we investigated in detail the chemical states of CO anions and hydrated water molecules in the LDH interlayer space by synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction, solid-state NMR spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. We found the rigidity of the network structure formed between the CO anions, hydrated water molecules, and the hydroxyl groups on the metal hydroxide layer surface to be a crucial factor underlying the stability of CO anions in the LDH interlayer space.

This study presents a simple method for embedding inorganic-organic hybrid lead halide perovskite (CHNH)PbX (X = Cl, Br, or I) nanocrystals (NCs) into the interlayer spaces of the layered polysilicate kenyaite. (CHNH)PbX NC-embedded kenyaite composites (MPX@kenyaite) were synthesized by immersing Pb-containing kenyaite in (CHNH)X-containing 2-propanol. According to X-ray diffraction, small-angle X-ray scattering, and scanning transmission electron microscopy analyses, (CHNH)PbX NCs with diameters of 5.

The shuttle effect, low electrical conductivity, and sluggish reaction kinetics of sulfur significantly limit the practical application of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. In this study, high-entropy alloy nanoparticles encapsulated in carbon nanocages and supported by carbon fibers (HEA@NC/CF) are prepared as an interlayer material in Li-S batteries to address these challenges. The HEA nanoparticles provide abundant adsorption and catalytic sites.

Layered compounds that utilize interlayer space as a reactive field are known as "interlayer-active" compounds and have been gaining attention, particularly in photocatalysis for water splitting. However, most of the reported "interlayer-active" photocatalysts are oxide semiconductors that possess a wide bandgap. Thus, they cannot utilize visible light essential for efficient water splitting.

As an efficient two-dimensional nonlinear optical crystal, 3R-MoS exhibits intrinsic bulk second-order nonlinearity with substantial second harmonic generation (SHG) due to the interfacial charge transfer induced interlayer dipole and intralayer intrinsic asymmetric dipole. However, how these dipoles determine the SHG emission dipole orientation and intensity in 3R-MoS has not been clearly resolved. Here, we accurately determine the coexistence of in-plane and out-of-plane SHG emission dipoles in few-layer 3R-MoS through radial-/azimuthal-polarization excitation SHG measurements and back focal plane (BFP) imaging combined with numerical simulations, where the SHG emission dipole orientation () in real space for 3L, 4L, 5L, and 6L 3R-MoS is determined to be ∼8°, ∼16°, ∼20°, and ∼32°, respectively.
