How Can LDHs be Modified to Enhance Catalytic Activity?
LDHs can be modified to enhance their catalytic activity through various approaches:
- Doping: Introducing different metal cations into the LDH structure can improve catalytic performance. - Functionalization: Grafting organic molecules or nanoparticles onto the LDH surface can enhance catalytic properties. - Intercalation: Intercalating different anions or guest molecules into the interlayer spaces can modify the catalytic behavior. - Thermal Treatment: Calcination of LDHs leads to the formation of mixed metal oxides, which often exhibit superior catalytic activity.
