    Abstract:
    The development of layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanosheets as nanocontainers has been intensively studied in recent years. Despite their potential for application on a large scale, their synthesis in an aqueous medium is rarely reported. Herein, we report a straightforward approach for the controllable synthesis of uniform MgAl-LDH nanosheets by an aqueous nucleation process followed by a hydrothermal treatment. The key to this method relies on the well-dispersed LDH nuclei that are produced by high-speed homogenization. Following the nucleation step, the coalescence of the aggregate hydroxide layers is diminished by hydraulic shear forces, leading to the disaggregation and even distribution of LDH nuclei. As a result, the oriented growth of individual crystals along the horizontal plane becomes predominant, leading to a high surface charge density of the hydroxide sheets and preventing their stacking. The electron microscope virtual proofs showed that the particles had a well-defined circular shape with a thickness of about 2-3 nm. Afterward, for the first time, LDH nanosheets were used to prepare LDH nanocontainers loaded with 2-benzothiazolythio-succinic acid (BTSA) by anion exchange. The incorporation of BTSA into the interlayer region and the emission behavior of the inhibitor were investigated. These results indicate that the prepared nanosheets can be utilized as effective nanocontainers for organic inhibitor loading and anti-corrosion application.
