In the current work, Li-Al-CO layered double hydroxides (LDHs) were synthesized by a hydrothermal method using LiCl, AlCl, and urea as raw materials. The effect of LiCl/AlCl molar ratio (R) on the composition of products was investigated. Special emphasis was placed on the formation process of Li-Al-CO LDHs. It was found that the R has a significant impact on the types of products. Only at the R being higher than unity, the pure LDHs phase with a chemical formula of LiAl(OH)·2HO can be formed. Low R values (≤0.25) lead to the formation of an ammonium aluminum carbonate hydroxide phase. The formation of the LDHs is essentially via a Li-intercalation mechanism. Amorphous Al(OH) is first formed, and Li ions are then intercalated into the vacancies in the Al(OH)-layers to form crystalline Li-Al-CO LDHs. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the hydrothermal formation process of Li-Al LDHs. This work provides a better understanding for the features of Li-Al LDHs.
在当前工作中,以氯化锂、氯化铝和尿素为原料,采用水热法合成了锂 - 铝 - 碳酸根层状双氢氧化物(LDHs)。研究了氯化锂/氯化铝摩尔比(R)对产物组成的影响。特别关注了锂 - 铝 - 碳酸根LDHs的形成过程。发现R对产物类型有显著影响。仅当R大于1时,才能形成化学式为LiAl(OH)·2HO的纯LDHs相。低R值(≤0.25)会导致形成碳酸氢氧化铝铵相。LDHs的形成本质上是通过锂嵌入机制。首先形成无定形的Al(OH),然后锂离子嵌入Al(OH)层中的空位形成结晶的锂 - 铝 - 碳酸根LDHs。据我们所知,这是关于锂 - 铝LDHs水热形成过程的首次报道。这项工作有助于更好地理解锂 - 铝LDHs的特性。
