Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are 2D laminar clay materials [Hydrotalcite (HTs)- like] comprising of brucite-like layers (positively charged) with charged compensating anions and water molecules in interlayered region. Because of their compositional variation, HTs/LDHs as multifunctional materials have attained significant attention in different fields such as adsorbent in environmental remediation, catalysts in photo/sonocatalyst and biomass conversion into biochemicals and biofuels, delivery agents of drug/cosmeceutical/ agrochemicals, active materials in voltaic and photovoltaic cells, additives in concrete and packaging materials etc. The properties of HTs/LDHs including exchange ability of different anions, the resiliency of different metal cations in host layers, large surface area, and tunability of the synthetic parameters with a crystal structure. Owing to their unique properties, HTs/LDHs as filler/additive …
