8-Hydroxy-pyrene-1,3,6-trisulphonate (HPTS) and octanesulphonate (OS) have been co-intercalated into the ZnAl layered double hydroxide (LDH) host by a hydrothermal co-precipitation method, with samples denoted as HPTS (x%)-OS/Zn{sub 2}Al-LDH (x stands for the molar percentage content of HPTS with respect to total amount of HPTS and OS). The structure and chemical compositions of the as-prepared compounds were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and elemental analysis. The steady-state and time-decay fluorescent studies show that HPTS (2%)-OS/Zn{sub 2}Al-LDH has the optimal luminous emission and the longest fluorescent lifetime. Moreover, these samples exhibit controllable dual fluorescence between the blue and green regions upon changing the interlayer HPTS content, external pH values, and host-guest interaction, illustrating that these organic-inorganic samples have potential application in the field of tunable solid luminescent materials. - Graphical Abstract: 8-Hydroxy-pyrene-1,3,6-trisulphonate and octanesulfonate co-intercalated ZnAl layered double hydroxide can exhibit tunable solid-state blue and green fluorescence by treating the sample at acid and neutral media under hydrothermal condition. Highlights: Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer 8-hydroxy-pyrene-1,3,6-trisulphonate (HPTS) was intercalated into ZnAl LDHs. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer They show the controllable dual fluorescence response to the HPTS content and pH values. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer Fluorescence of the HPTS/LDH film was insensitive to the quencher (Cu{sup 2+}) concentration.
