Summary: Anionic drugs atorvastatin and valsartan were successfully intercalated into Mg-Al LDH host with high drug loading. XRD analysis confirmed the intercalation of both drugs, while molecular modeling showed the interaction between drugs and LDH at the atomic scale. Experimental measurements supported the findings from the modeling, indicating weak electrostatic interactions between LDH layers and drug molecules. The release of the drugs from the intercalated LDH slightly differed in different media, following pseudo-second-order kinetics.

Summary: Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are promising electrodes for supercapacitors due to their adjustable composition and superior high capacity, but their experimental specific capacity is lower than theoretical value. Intercalating large-sized anions to increase interlayer spacing is crucial for performance improvement, as demonstrated in a study where a cobalt-nickel LDH hollowcage intercalated with 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid showed improved specific capacity and rate performance. The sample with the largest layer spacing achieved a maximum specific capacity of 229 mA h g(-1) at 1 A g(-1), and a hybrid supercapacitor with this sample showed good energy density and cycle stability.

Summary: The sandwich-like MXene/graphene oxide/nickel-manganese layered double hydroxide (MGL) with more exposed active sites is efficiently assembled by the conductive interface of MXene, graphene oxide (GO) and intercalated layered double hydroxide (LDH). The unique nanostructure prevents MXene stacking problem and promotes the specific capacity of LDH. GO covers the compound surface to accelerate charge transfer and increase electron density, while stable carbon materials contribute to the excellent specific capacity and cycle stability of MGL as cathode material.

Summary: The development of low-cost and high-efficiency iodine sorbents is essential for nuclear pollution control. In this study, we intercalated the tin sulfide cluster of [Sn2S6](4-) into Mg/Al-type layered double hydroxides to obtain Sn2S6-LDH, which exhibited highly efficient capture performance for iodine in both vapor and solution forms. The adsorption capacity of Sn2S6-LDH for iodine vapor reached 2954 mg/g, mainly through physisorption, while the sorption capacity for iodine in solutions achieved a significantly large value of 1308 mg/g. During iodine capture, the reduction of I-2 molecules to I- ions by S2- in [Sn2S6](4-) led to the formation of SnI4, where the amount of captured iodine was four times that of Sn. The excellent iodine capture capability of Sn2S6-LDH makes it a promising material for trapping radioactive iodine.
