How Amino Acids Intercalate in CaFe Layered Double Hydroxides: A Combined RIXS and NEXAFS Study
Intercalation of amino acids in layered double hydroxides offers a road to functional (bio)catalysts. With resonant soft x‐ray spectroscopy we probe the electronic structure of these systems and observe activation and passivation of electronic states as well as bond formation between the amino acid and the LDH upon intercalation.
