Abstract:

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have received much attention for their unique properties. As solid catalysts, LDHs and their derivates have been widely studied and applied for their excellent catalytic performance. Several synthesis methods of LDHs were briefly introduced, and the applications of LDHs and related catalysts for hydrogen production and a biorefinery were emphasized in this article. The prospects for LDH related compounds in the synthesis of new materials and their catalytic application in green catalysis systems were also presented.

Key words: Layered double hydroxide, Heterogeneous catalyst, Steam reforming, Hydrogen generation, Biorefinery, Transesterification
