Layered double hydroxide films: synthesis, properties and applications

Layered double hydroxide (LDH) films have been widely investigated in the last few years because of their promising applications in areas such as catalysis, anti-corrosion coatings for metals, and as components in optical, electrical, and magnetic devices. In this Feature Article we review recent work, from our own laboratory and elsewhere, on the synthesis, properties and applications of functional LDH films, and also offer some perspectives for the design of future multifunctional LDH films.

层状双氢氧化物（LDH）薄膜在过去几年中得到了广泛的研究，因为它们在催化、金属防腐涂层以及光学、电学和磁学器件组件等领域具有良好的应用前景。在这篇专题文章中，我们综述了我们自己实验室以及其他地方近期在功能性LDH薄膜的合成、性质和应用方面的工作，并对未来多功能LDH薄膜的设计提出了一些展望。
