The latest research and applications of layered double hydroxides (LDHs) and layered double oxides (LDOs) in the context of catalysis

Layered Double Hydroxides and Oxides delivers a first-of-its-kind and highly thorough overview of layered double hydroxides (LDHs) and layered double oxides (LDOs) in the context of catalysis, highlighting the distinctive structure-activity properties inherent in LDH- and LDO-based catalytic nanomaterials with emphasis on materials design, synthesis, and characterization as well as sustainable applications including batteries, solar fuels, fossil fuels, biomass, fossil chemical conversions, and environmental remediations of pollutants.

Layered Double Hydroxides and Oxides includes information on:

• Physicochemical, optical, and electronic properties and synthesis with controlled structure properties.
• Water splitting for hydrogen generation, electrocatalytic fuel cells, energy storage in sodium-ion batteries, and methane-reforming syngas generation and conversion.
• Photocatalytic and electrocatalytic CO2 reduction, catalytic fixation of nitrogen, and conversion of biomass to chemicals and fuel.
• Removal of organic wastewater pollutants, gas chemical sensing and detection, and antimicrobial and antibacterial disinfectants.

Layered Double Hydroxides and Oxides is an excellent reference on the subject for academic researchers and professional engineers/scientists working in the research and development areas of inorganic chemistry and catalysis, materials science, advanced nanomaterials, environmental science, solar energy, fossil energy conversion, batteries and energy storage.
