Assembly of LDHs-based fluorescent materials and investigations on their two-dimensional confinement effect

Abstract

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are a family of inorganic host materials which have been widely used in fluorescence display, imaging and sensor, due to their specific layered structure and two-dimensional confined interlayer space. In this review, we summarized the recent progress in the fluorescent guests, assembly methods of layered structure and host-guest interactions. Furthermore, the influences of 2D confinement effects of LDHs matrix (geometry confinement and electron confinement) on the fluorescence property of guests are discussed.
