Abstract
Room-temperature liquid metals offer intriguing chemistry for obtaining atomic nanomaterials with unique composition and morphologies. However, the use of liquid metals for the synthesis of layered double oxide (LDO) materials has rarely been reported. When surrounded with water, liquid metal alloys produce low-dimensional hydroxides on their interfacial regions. In this work, highly electrostatically polarized two-dimensional (2D) aluminum hydroxides, featuring OH bonds, are devised as adsorption sites for divalent cations including Ni2+, Co2+, Mg2+, Mn2+, Zn2+, and Fe2+ ions. For Ni2+ and Co2+ ions, remarkably, through changing synthesis conditions, different orientations of 2D Al/NiCo-LDO..
