Abstract

Self-supported oligo-layered ZnAlEu LDH nanotubes (∅ 20 nm) self-assemble upon controlled hydrolysis of the metal ions (Zn²⁺, Al³⁺, Eu³⁺) in the presence of 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate anions and non-ionic worm-like micelles. Their high surface area and easily accessible cylindrical mesopores (175 m² g⁻¹; 0.75 cm³ g⁻¹) facilitate interaction with 5 nm CdTe quantum dots, enhancing the overall luminescence behavior.
