NYP.10.26434/chemrxiv.11815443.v1http://hdl.handle.net/2263/74725Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) with high and tailorable UV-Vis-NIR absorption were prepared through transition metal (TM) modification. The synthesis method used and amount of TM present were found to influence the UV-Vis- NIR absorption intensity, -range, and the optical bandgap.enThis article is a preprint.
