| The layered double hydroxide (LDH) is well known for its ability to intercalate anionic compounds. Most popular LDH is prepared conventionally only with divalent and trivalent cations. In this study, Co-V LDH consisting of divalent and tetravalent cations was prepared and reacted with monocarboxylic acids at room temperature. The Co-V LDH and intercalated compounds characterized by C,H,N analysis, ICP, ESCA, X-ray diffraction, IR spectra, thermal analysis and Scanning electron microscope (SEM). XRD patterns of the prepared Co-V LDH showed that the interlayer spacing of the LDH is 0.78 nm. SEM images showed that the morphology of Co-V LDH before and after intercalation reactions is plate-like structure. |
