Abstract
|
In this study, 2,4,6-trinitro benzoate (TNB) was intercalated into Zn–Al layered double hydroxides (LDHs) by ion
exchange method to obtain TNB–LDH nanohybrids. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared
spectra and elemental analyses indicate a successful intercalation of TNB with a horizontal orientation. Intercalation
of organic anion of TNB into Zn–Al LDH caused the interlayer spacing of LDH to increase from 0.771 to 0.890 nm
as determined by XRD studies. Thermogravimetric analyses propose that the thermal stability of the intercalated
organic anion of TNB is lower than compared to the pure form before intercalation.
