Definitions

• Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to layered double hydroxide materials, and specifically relate to high aspect ratio layered double hydroxide materials and methods for preparation.
• LDHs layered double hydroxides
• anionic clays are inverse charge analogues of the widely used aluminosilicate cationic clays in their structure and properties.
• Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to LDHs produced with the high symmetry adamantane ion, which mediates the growth of high aspect ratio platelets. Moreover, due to its organophilic nature, adamantane can be exfoliated in organic solvents. Thus, these LDH layers can be used in various applications as previously mentioned.
• the embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to high aspect ratio non-carbonated LDHs, which use just one equivalent of anion salt.
• these LDHs provide process improvements in that they enable "one pot” synthesis, and less washing (including no washing) at the end of the reaction due to the use of metal hydroxides as starting materials and just one equivalent of anion. The materials formed also have desirable properties once calcined.
• a method for preparing adamantane- intercalated layered double-hydroxide (LDH) particles comprises adding to an aqueous solution a first precursor and a second precursor to form an initial mixture, where the first precursor is Al(OH) 3 or A1 2 0 3 , and the second precursor is a hydroxide M(OH) 2 or an oxide MO, where M is a metal of oxidation state +2.
• the initial mixture has a M/Al molar ratio of from 1 to 5 or a solid loading of less than 10 weight % solids, based on a total weight of the initial mixture.
• the method further comprises adding to the initial mixture an amount of adamantane to form a reaction mixture having an Al/adamantane molar ratio of from 0.5 to 2, and heating the reaction mixture to produce the adamantane-intercalated LDH particles, where the adamantane-intercalated LDH particles have aspect ratios greater than 100.
• the aspect ratio is defined by the width of adamantane-intercalated LDH particles divided by the thickness of the adamantane- intercalated LDH particles.
• an adamantane-intercalated layered double-hydroxide (LDH) material in the form of adamantane-intercalated LDH particles is provided.
• the adamantane-intercalated LDH particles comprise a general formula defined by [Mi_ x Al x (OH) 2 ](A) x -mH 2 0, where x is from 0.14 to 0.33, m is from 0.33 to 0.50, M is chosen from Mg, Ca, Co, Ni, Cu, or Zn, and A is adamantane carboxylate.
• the adamantane-intercalated LDH particles further comprise an aspect ratio greater than 100. The aspect ratio is defined by the width of an adamantane-intercalated LDH particle divided by the thickness of the adamantane-intercalated LDH particle.

• FIG. 6 is a graph of the 13 C solid-state NMR spectra of a Mg/Al- adamantoate LDH in accordance with one or more embodiments of the present disclosure.
• the dispersion of active reduced metal or metal-oxide particles on a stable support is a complex and laborious process. To achieve this, one needs to consider various parameters such as the synthesis conditions, nature of the support and appropriate ways of dispersing/distributing active catalyst on the support.
• the metal/metal oxide supported catalysts the Cu/ZnO/Al 2 0 3 system and metal/metal oxide (Pt, Pd, Rh and Au) systems supported on various supports (alumina, silica, and carbon) have great industrial importance.
• catalytic systems are known to have potential for catalyzing industrially important reactions such as synthesis of methanol, water gas shift reaction, desulfurization of petrochemical streams, photochemical/electrochemical splitting of water, and photochemical/electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide into useful chemicals, for example.
• the adamantane-intercalated LDH particles have aspect ratios greater than 100.
• the aspect ratio is defined by the width of the LDH particle divided by the thickness of the LDH particle.
• an aspect ratio below 10 is considered low, an aspect ratio less than 100 is considered medium, and an aspect ratio of 100 or greater is considered a high aspect ratio.
• the LDH particles may be calculated from the SEM images. For example, referring to the embodiment of FIG. 2B, it is clear that the layered particles have large surface area, but lack thickness, thereby resulting in a high aspect ratio.
• Atomic Force Microscopy may be utilized to measure the width and thickness of the LDH particles and determine an aspect ratio.
• Methods for preparing adamantane-intercalated LDH particles may include the step of adding to an aqueous solution a first precursor and a second precursor to form an initial mixture.
• the aqueous solution may consist essentially of water.
• the first precursor may comprise Al(OH) 3 or A1 2 0 3 .
• the second precursor may include a metal containing compound, for example, a hydroxide M(OH) 2 or an oxide MO, where M is a metal of oxidation state of +2. While various other metals are also contemplated, the M may be chosen from Mg, Ca, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, or combinations thereof.
• the second precursor may include Mg(OH) 2 , Ca(OH) 2 , Co(OH) 2 , Ni(OH) 2 , Cu(OH) 2 , Zn(OH) 2 , or combinations thereof.
• the second precursor is Mg(OH) 2 or MgO.
• the second precursor is Mg(OH) 2 and the first precursor is Al(OH) 3 .
• the initial mixture may have a M/Al molar ratio of 1 to 5, or 1 to 3. Furthermore, the initial mixture may have a solid loading of less than 10 weight % solids, based on a total weight of the initial mixture, or a solids loading or less than 5 weight % solids.
• the method includes adding to the initial mixture an amount of adamantane to form a reaction mixture having an Al/adamantane molar ratio of from 0.5 to 2.
• the Al/adamantane molar ratio may be from 0.8 to 1.2, or may be 1 to 1.
• Various adamantane sources are contemplated.
• the adamantane may be added in the form of a carboxylic acid.
• the reaction may be stirred.
• LDHs for conversion to mixed metal oxide catalysts are prepared with inorganic guest anions, which may be easily removed under thermal treatment.
• an organic anion such as carboxylic acid functionalized adamantane
• improved properties for LDHs may be achieved.
• Adamantane has a structure characterized by high symmetry (T d ), is free from intra-molecular strain and, as a result, is extremely thermodynamically stable.
• adamantane can be chemically functionalized.
• Adamantane has a melting point of 270 °C and it slowly sublimes even at room temperature.
• Adamantane is poorly soluble in water, but readily soluble in hydrocarbons.
• the use of thermally stable adamantane is as a structure directing agent, which allows for preferential growth of the LDH in the a and b crystallographic directions over the c crystallographic axes. This results in the high aspect ratio particles observed. Moreover, the use of hydrothermal synthesis and metal hydroxide precursors carefully controls the growth conditions in terms of pH and kinetics. [0023] Next, the method includes heating the reaction mixture to produce the adamantane-intercalated LDH particles, where the adamantane-intercalated LDH particles have aspect ratios greater than 100.
• the adamantane-intercalated LDH particles means the adamantane is inserted into the LDH particle matrix.
• the aspect ratio of the adamantane-intercalated LDH particles is greater than 125, or greater than 150, or greater than 200.
• the adamantane-intercalated LDH particles have a particle diameter of 2 to 12 ⁇ , or from 5 to 10 ⁇ .
• the heating step may occur at a reaction temperature from 110 °C to 180 °C for a reaction time of 12 hours to 48 hours, or from 130 °C to 170 °C for a reaction time of 20 hours to 30 hours.
• the positive charge on the layers is balanced by anions present in the interlayer. The anions give rise to the name anionic clays.
• the adamantane-intercalated LDH particle may have a general formula
• LDHs with high aspect ratios play a role in the development of oxygen barriers in packaging, as fillers in nanocomposite materials, and as flame-retardants, amongst others. For all these applications, high aspect ratio platelets that can be readily dispersed in a polymer matrix are desirable, but not easily attainable.
• Anion charge and symmetry of the anion plays a crucial role in nucleation and growth of LDH crystals.
• the carbonate ion which is ubiquitous in nature, has D 3 h symmetry matching well with interlayer symmetry of the LDH and also it has higher charge density compared to other anions. As a result, LDHs prefer carbonate ions over other ions and this mediates the ordered stacking of layers.
• LDHs are conventionally prepared by a co-precipitation technique, in which a homogeneous mixed solution of metal salts is added to another solution containing sodium hydroxide and an excess of the guest anion to be incorporated.
• LDHs obtained from this method always show crystallites with submicron size due to rapid multiple nucleation and crystallization events.
• Co-precipitated crystals may have aspect ratios of approximately 1-10 or less. This indicates that the crystals have narrow breadth and grow preferentially along the c axis. This is a reflection of the high supersaturation of both anion and cation and the rapid nucleation of many crystals in the mixed zone in the reactor.
• FIGS. 1A and IB SEM images of Mg/Al-C0 3 LDH samples prepared by co- precipitation and anion exchange method are provided in FIGS. 1A and IB. As shown, these particles are irregular thick agglomerates. As a result of this thickness, the aspect ratio is low for the Mg/Al-C0 3 LDH samples. In contrast, the SEM micrographs of Mg/Al-adamantoate LDH produced as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B depict sheet like layers having much less thickness than the Mg/Al-C0 3 . In light of these low thicknesses, these Mg/Al-adamantoate LDH particles have a high aspect ratio.
• the pH of the initial reaction mixture and final filtrate was measure and was found to be 9.5 and 8.6 respectively.
• the above procedure was repeated by taking Mg/Al molar ratio of 5. After the reaction was over, the products were washed thoroughly with water and dried at 65 °C.
• the PXRD pattern of the as- synthesized LDH is given in FIG. 3, and shows that the basal reflection (001) at 20.84 A corresponds to a bilayer arrangement of adamantane ions in the interlayer. The submultiples of (001) are seen at higher 2 ⁇ values.
• Intercalation of adamantoic acid was further characterized with IR spectra as shown in FIG. 4.
• the vibrations at 1517 cm -1 and 1395 cm -1 correspond to anti- symmetric and symmetric stretching vibrations of the COO " group.
• the vibrations at 2901 cm -1 and 2847 cm -1 are for the C-H vibrations.
• the 4302 cm -1 vibration is due to hydrogen bonding of layer metal hydroxide groups with intercalated water molecules in the interlayer.
• the C NMR spectra of Mg/Al- adamantoate shows 4 peaks at 29.5 ppm, 37.3 ppm, 40.6 ppm and 42.8 ppm, which are due to 4 different carbons present in the adamantane molecule.
• the peak at 186.98 ppm is due to the carbon of the carboxylate group.
• Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) images of as- synthesized LDH show platelet morphology typical of layered materials (FIGS. 2A and 2B).
