Abstract

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) belong to a class of layered materials with a general chemical formula of [[MII1-xMIIIx(OH)2]x+(Am−)x/m]·nH2O. In this study, the Mg2Al1, Mg2-xZnxAl1 and Mg2Al1-xLax LDHs were successfully synthesized by a simple sol-gel synthetic approach. It was demonstrated that using sol-gel technique around 25% mol of magnesium could be replaced successfully by zinc in Mg2Al1 LDHs without destroying the layered structure. However, the smaller amount of lanthanum (up to 5% mol) was introduced instead of aluminum. The FTIR and Raman spectroscopy results confirmed the high reproducibility of the sol-gel processing method used in this study for preparing non-substituted and metal-substituted LDH samples. The Mg1.5Zn0.5Al1 and Mg2Al0.95La0.05 samples consisted of homogeneously distributed plate-like crystallites, with an average particle size of approximately 50–200 nm, although some particles have reached micrometer sizes. The N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms for all sol-gel derived LDHs were quite similar. The evaluation of the antibacterial properties of the synthesised samples revealed zones of inhibition for LDHs in the presence of Gram-negative Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Gram-positive Bacillus cereus (B. cereus), suggesting that the effective inhibition depends on nature and concentration of metal ions.
