Abstract:
Applications and reports of unique properties displayed by layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are steadily
increasing. Fundamental insight into LDH synthesis is essential to developing sustainable production processes,
and this can be acquired through an improved understanding of their underlying thermochemistry. The collection
of work presented introduces LDHs, describes essential terminology, and provides a review of currently available
literature focused on modelling methods and measurement techniques used to describe and capture standard
thermodynamic formation property data of LDHs. A table of standard thermodynamic formation property data
of LDHs is also presented at the end of the review.
