The nickel/aluminum layered double hydroxides (Ni/Al LDHs) was synthesized by a simple co-precipitation and hydrothermal method. Heating the reactants of Ni(NO3)2, Al(NO3)3, Na3PO4 and NaOH improves the crystallinity of LDHs, leading to the formation of the orchid leaf-like Ni/Al LDHs with the width of around 100 nm and the length of around 800 nm.
