Abstract
The aggregation mechanism of delaminated layered double hydroxide (dLDH) to form lamellar or even more complex nanostructures is revealed. It is found that dLDH nanosheets undergo ordered restacking via self-assembly upon salt induced aggregation within a short period of time. This first step is followed on longer term by the formation of house-of-cards-type aggregated clusters.
