Popis: Colloidal nanosheets of nickel-manganese layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have been synthesized in high yields through a facile reverse micelle method with xylene as an oil phase and oleylamine as a surfactant. Electron microscopy studies of the product revealed the formation of colloidal nanoplatelets with sizes of 50-150 nm, and X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies showed that the Ni-Mn LDH nanosheets had a hydrotalcite-like structure with a formula of [Ni3 Mn(OH)8 ](Cl(-) )⋅n H2 O. We found that the presence of both Ni and Mn precursors was required for the growth of Ni-Mn LDH nanosheets. As pseudocapacitors, the Ni-Mn LDH nanosheets exhibited much higher specific capacitance than unitary nickel hydroxides and manganese oxides.
