Layered Double Hydroxides as Catalytic Materials: Recent Development

This report surveys the recent development of layered double hydroxides (LDHs) as catalytic materials, which have attracted considerable attention in the past decade. A major challenge in the rapidly growing field is to improve the functionalities of these materials. Therefore, this article is mainly focused on the lately reported design and synthesis strategies for LDH materials and their catalytic applications as actual catalysts, catalyst precursors and catalyst supports.
