Layered double hydroxide: a new promising nanomaterial in energy application

Recent synthetic approaches allowed to obtain layered double hydroxides (LDHs) with different functions. Due to the controlled structure of the LDH the high potential in the energy application have been found as electrode, dielectric, and even semiconductor. It is a promising new-generation nanomaterial for the energy application. This report has been reviewing the synthetic approaches for these LDHs and their utilisations in the field of energy application.
