A novel layered AgBr-based inorganic/organic nanocomposite was prepared by pulsed laser ablation (PLA) of Ag in aqueous media in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The obtained AgBr-based inorganic/organic nanocomposite possesses well-defined 2D shape. X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern was composed of a series of peaks that could be indexed to (00l) reflections of a layered structure, and the basal spacing of 20.0 ?? indicated that the surfactant was included between the AgBr interlayers in an interdigitated bilayer arrangement.
