| Summary: | This review surveys recent advances in the applications of layered double hydroxides (LDHs) in heterogeneous catalysis. By virtue of the flexible tunability and uniform distribution of metal cations in the brucite-like layers and the facile exchangeability of intercalated anions, LDHs-both as directly prepared or after thermal treatment and/or reduction-have found many applications as stable and recyclable heterogeneous catalysts or catalyst supports for a variety of reactions with high industrial and academic importance. A major challenge in this rapidly growing field is to simultaneously improve the activity, selectivity and stability of these LDH-based materials by developing ways of tailoring the electronic structure of the catalysts and supports. Therefore, this Review article is mainly focused on the most recent developments in smart design strategies for LDH materials and the potential catalytic applications of the resulting materials.
This review article presents the most recent developments in the use of layered double hydroxide materials for catalytic applications. |

| Bibliography: | Guoli Fan received his BS (2006) and PhD (2011) degrees from Beijing University of Chemical Technology, where he mainly studied synthesis of new catalysts based on layered double hydroxides, under the supervision of Prof. Feng Li. After obtaining his PhD in 2011, he continued working at Beijing University of Chemical Technology. His research interests focus on design and fabrication of catalytic materials and environmentally friendly catalysis. Feng Li studied at East China University of Science and Technology for both his undergraduate and graduate degrees. He was awarded a PhD degree from Beijing University of Chemical Technology (BUCT) in 1999. He was a visiting scholar at UniversitéBlaise Pascal in 2001. He was appointed Professor of Chemistry at BUCT in 2005. His research interests are heterogeneous catalysis and materials chemistry. In 2004 he was selected to participate in the 'New Century Outstanding Talent' scheme of the Ministry of Education. In 2013 he was supported by the National Science Foundation for Distinguished Young Scholars. David G. Evans studied as both an undergraduate and a research student at Jesus College, Oxford, and obtained a DPhil under the supervision of Prof. D. M. P. Mingos FRS. After postdoctoral work at Bristol University with Prof. F. G. A. Stone FRS, he was appointed as a lecturer at Exeter University in 1985. He moved to Beijing University of Chemical Technology in 1996. His research interests focus on intercalation in layered solids. He was awarded an International Scientific and Technological Cooperation Award of the People's Republic of China in 2005. Xue Duan was elected as an Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2007 and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry in 2009. He was awarded his BS degree from Jilin University in 1982 and his PhD degree from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1988. He was subsequently appointed to the staff of Beijing University of Chemical Technology (BUCT) and established the Applied Chemistry Research Institute in 1990. He was promoted to full professor in 1993. He is currently Executive Vice-Chair of the Academic Committee of the State Key Laboratory of Chemical Resource Engineering.
