This work describes a novel method based on a metal salt-free system to synthesize a Li-Al-CO 3 layered double hydroxide (LDH) by simply adding powdered AlLi intermetallic compound (IMC) to a stirred water-bath at ambient temperature and atmosphere. The AlLi powder in the water-bath hydrolyzed stron...
