“…Layered double hydroxides (LDHs), also known as hydrotalcite-like materials, are an important class of layered materials and have the general formula [M Ⅱ 1-y M Ⅲ y (OH) 2 ] y+ (A n-) y/n ·mH 2 O, where M Ⅱ and M Ⅲ are di-and trivalent metal cations, respectively, A n-denotes an organic or inorganic anion with negative charge n, and y ( = [M Ⅲ ]/([M Ⅱ ] + [M Ⅲ ])) is the stoichiometric coefficient. LDHs have a wide range of applications in many fields, e.g., as catalysts or catalyst precursors, ion exchangers, adsorbents for environmental contaminants, and substrates for the immobilization of biological material [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14].…”
