Abstract
The Acid Yellow 49(4-[2-(5-amino-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)diazenyl]-2,5-dichloro benzenesulfonic acid) (denoted as PPDB) anion intercalated layered double hydroxides (LDH) film was fabricated through an ion-exchange method using a ZnAl–NO 3–LDH/alumina/aluminum film as precursor. The prepared film was investigated by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Thermogravimetric–differential thermal analysis (TG–DTA), UV–visible spectroscopy and the CIE 1976 L*a*b* color difference method. XRD patterns and FT-IR spectra confirm the successful incorporation of PPDB anions into the interlayer galleries of ZnAl–LDH with an expansion of d-spacing from 0.88 nm to 2.51 nm and the disappearance of characteristic absorption band of NO 3 − anions at 1384 cm −1. The SEM morphologies show that the LDH films are mainly oriented with c axis of the platelet crystallites parallel to the substrate surface. Additionally, the obtained results suggest that the intercalation of PPDB into ZnAl–LDH host markedly improve the thermal stability and light fastness of PPDB.
