Research Development on Structure and morphology synthesis of layered double hydroxides Abstract: Layered Double Hydroxides (LDHs) or hydrotalcite-like compounds (HTLc) are a class of anionic clays materials whose structure is based on brucite (Mg(OH)2)-like layers in which some of the divalent cations have been replaced by trivalent metallic cations giving positively-charged sheets and hydrated interlayer domains containing anionic species. This characteristic results in much more difficulty in controlling its structure and morphology than single metal hydroxides. This review provides an overview of the LDH synthesis methods, and the recent advancement that has been achieved in the morphology synthesis of layered double hydroxides. Keywords: Morphology control; Layered double hydroxides; Synthesis; Template Introduction Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are lamellar mixed hydroxides containing positively charged main layers and undergoing anion exchange chemistry [1]. The expected hexagonal plate- or flake-like crystallites with diameters from nanometers to microns were grown by various conventional preparation methods such as co-precipitation [2], urea hydrolysis [3], separate nucleation [4] and aging, ion-exchange [5], metal oxide precursor [6] method, reflecting the rigidity and hardness of LDHs’ host layer, which badly limited the application of layered double hydroxides in catalysis, adsorption and other domains. In recent years, however, The morphology and size control of inorganic solids has achieved great development in the material science. A number of imaginative routes to synthesize inorganic materials with unusual morphology have been recently reported [7]. many studies have been devoted to investigating the parameters on the Structure and morphology of LDHs. Fortunately, with the development of bio-mineralization [8], confined growth of nano-particles [9], the inorganic/organic self-assembly [10] and template chemistry [11], Template chemistry has been
