Preparation of Layered Double Hydroxides toward Precisely Designed Hierarchical Organization

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are a class of materials with useful properties associated with their anion exchange abilities for a wide range of materials’ applications including adsorbent, catalyst and its support, ceramic precursor, and drug carrier. In order to satisfy the requirements for the detailed characterization and the practical application, the preparation of LDHs with varied composition and particle morphology has been examined extensively. The versatility of the preparation methods led LDHs with varied composition and micro/macroscopic morphology, which makes the application of LDHs more realistic. In the present review article, synthetic methods of LDHs are overviewed in order to highlight the present status of the LDHs for practical application.
