Abstract
Layered Double Hydroxides (LDH) are being used in energy related research for last several years. Among others, research interests include synthesis of catalysts, electrocatalysts, photocatalysts, electrode materials for batteries and super capacitors, and luminescence materials. They can be also applied for the production of renewable energy sources, such as hydrogen and oxygen. LDH materials have several advantages in general, such as their low cost, versatility of their chemical composition, easily manipulated properties, a wide range of preparation variables, unique anion exchange and intercalation properties, chemical stability, and colloidal and thermal behavior. On the other hand, their use in particular energy research produces some challenging physical and chemical aspects that need to be addressed. These include lack of knowledge on exact structure, postulation of interlayer arrangement, and some selectivity issues in catalysis. In this work, we will revisit these topics with an overview of the historical background and current literature survey.
