Intercalation Of Vanadate Ions In Ni-Co Layered Double Hydroxides

The nanoparticles of Ni-Co-VO3 layered double hydroxide (LDH) were prepared with Ni/Co molar ratio of 2:1 by a thermal and hydrothermmal process and co-precipitation method at pH 10. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectra (FT-IR), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM)indicate a successful intercalation of Vanadate anions. According to the results obtained from TEM and XRD, LDHs have a size in the nanometer scale with a plate-like morphology and high crystalline quality. (Style: Times New Roman, 10pt, Italic)
