• reflectance Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) was used. Freeze-dried nanoparticles were directly placed on an ATR crystal, and the infrared spectrum of the samples was obtained in the range of 4000–400 cm−1 using a FTIR spectrophotometer (Bruker/Vertex70, USA). Particle size and zeta

Attenuated total reflectance Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) provides valuable information about the nature of the layered hydroxide structure and the intercalated

• total reflectance Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) spectra were collected on a Bruker alpha II FTIR spectrometer in the 4000–400 cm−1 range. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements were recorded on a Thermo Scientific™ K-alpha X-ray photoelectron spectrometer. Al Kα

• powder diffraction (PXRD) patterns were obtained on a PANalytical Empyrean X-ray platform with a capillary platform and copper radiation (Cu Kα = 1.54178 Å). Measurements were carried in triplicate in the 2-theta range of 2–70° with a step size of 0.02°/step and an integration time of 1 s. Attenuated

The microstructure of the carbonized nanofiber webs was investigated by Raman spectroscopy (DXR Raman spectrometer, Thermo Scientific, at 532 nm). The

• nanofiber webs were characterized by using a dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA) (TA Q800 Dynamic Mechanical Analyser). Thermal behavior of nanofiber webs was examined with thermogravimetric analysis (TGA, Q 50 from TA instruments). The structure of the nanofiber webs was characterized by attenuated total
