Abstract

Transistors based on layered double hydroxides (LDH) single microcrystal are fabricated, whose conductivity of LDH can be tuned by varying metal cations or interlayer anions, but weakly affected by external electric field. The carrier mobility can reach about 1 × 10(-5) cm(2) V(-1) s(-1) , a value comparable to that of organic C60-based transistors. This work paves a way for future electrical applications of LDH.
