Abstract
in the LDHs assisted the self-assembly of the double hydroxide layers onto the surface of Pluronic P-123 worm-like micelles, enabling the formation of the nanotubes. Removal of the micellar template provides accessibility to the mesopores, yielding a network of hollow cylindrical nanotubes with internal diameter of about 10 nm. An antenna molecule (benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate, BTC) is hosted in their 1-nanometre-wide micropores. Upon UV excitation, the nanotubes emit light in a set of wavelengths ranging from the ultraviolet to the infrared.
