A simple and reliable method for determining the delamination degree of nitrate and glycine intercalated LDHs in formamide.

We demonstrated that analyzing the formed gels containing exfoliated nitrate or glycine intercalated layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanosheets in formamide using X-ray diffraction is a simple and reliable method for determining the delamination degree of LDHs in formamide, which shows many advantages compared to the common characterization technologies.
