ABSTRACTNumerous fabrication protocols are known to yield transition metal oxides with structures related to layered double hydroxides, but the effect of fabrication protocol on the uniformity of mixed-metal compositions remain largely unexplored. We have analysed the apparent solubility limits and the structural implications of iron ions in nickel hydroxide lattices for materials prepared by four different fabrication protocols. Opposing shifts in the (100) and (001) reflection in powder X-ray diffraction results revealed a contraction of the nickel lattice upon successful incorporation of iron, with Ni-M distances exhibiting an apparently linear decrease with respect to iron content. This feature revealed the amount of iron incorporated into nickel-based materials to be dependent on fabrication protocol, varying from apparently negligible concentrations to over fifty atomic percent. The dependency of structure on fabrication protocols provides a handle to improve fundamental understanding of catalytically relevant coordination environments.

We present lightweight macro-mesoporous spinel CoAl2O4 nanostructured aerogels derived from water-soluble aluminum-chitosan complexes. Chitosan nanofibrils interact with aluminum ions to swell into hydrogels. The aluminum-induced swelling is extended to dissolve the hydrogels in water to form a homogeneous aluminum-chitosan aqueous solution. The addition of cobalt ions in the aluminum-chitosan liquids which are solidified by lyophilization to generate cotton-like aerogel composites. Uniform incorporation of cobalt-aluminum hydroxide ions onto chitosan leads nanofibrils to serve as a hierarchical template to support mixed metal hydroxides in the aerogel composites. We investigated the thermal removal of chitosan template in the composites to obtain spinel CoAl2O4 aerogels that truly replicate spider web-like fibrillar networks of chitosan template. Enlarged porosity, high crystallinity, and lightweight make the CoAl2O4 aerogels useful as a colorful nano-pigment for magnetic ceramics.
