Thermal decomposition of layered double hydroxides (LDHs) is a way of fabricating mixed metal oxide (MMO) nanocomposite materials composed of metal oxide and spinel phases. A detailed understanding of the mechanism of the transformation of the LDH precursor to the MMO should allow the properties of the resulting MMO nanocomposites to be tailored to specific applications. Here we report a systematic investigation of the structure, composition, and morphology evolution from ZnAl-LDHs to ZnO-based MMO nanocomposites composed of ZnO and ZnAl2O4 on calcination at different temperatures. The nucleation and oriented growth of ZnO crystallites and the formation of ZnAl2O4 were monitored by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) combined with selected-area electron diffraction (SAED), in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD), solid-state 27Al magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (27Al MAS NMR), and thermogravimetric and differential thermal analyses (TG−DTA). The layered structure of the LDH pr...
