Layered Double Hydroxides as the Unique Product of Target Ionic Construction for Energy, Chemical, Foods, Cosmetics, Medicine and Ecology Applications
Chem Rec. 2023 Oct 17:e202300260. doi: 10.1002/tcr.202300260. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLayered Double Hydroxide (LDH) is an α-modification of the M-host (M2+ ) hydroxide, in which some part of the M-host cations is replaced by M-guest cations (M3+ or M4+ ). The emerging excess positive charge is compensated by the intercalation of anions into the interlayer space, which also contains water molecules. LDHs exhibit anion exchange properties. Targeted ionic design of LDHs via combining three components (M-host, M-guest cations, intercalated anions) allows the creation of a very wide range of highly efficient electrochem...
