A novel layered nanocomposite, MnTSPP/Cu-LHs, was constructed by the fabrication of Cu-2(OH)(3)NO3 nanosheets and manganese 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl) porphyrin anions, MnTSPP. The obtained novel lamellar composite was characterized by using XRD, FTIR, UV-vis, SEM, and EDS. Meanwhile, the morphology and the zeta potential of the obtained Cu-LHs colloidal dispersion were measured by AFM and a Zetasizer Nano instrument, respectively.
