Abstract:

Benefiting from the large specific surface area, open microstructure, tunable interlayer distance and chemical composition, the transition metals based layered double hydroxides(TM LDHs) have been widely applied and studied as efficient catalysts in recent years. This review introduces the design and applications of LDHs for electrochemical catalytic water oxidation. Illustrative examples are given on the origin of the advanced catalytic performance of TM LDHs towards water splitting, by focusing on their chemical compositions, microstructures and electronic properties. Possible strategies for further improving the catalytic performance and future development of TM LDHs are also prospected.

Key words: transition metals-based catalysts, layered double hydroxides, water splitting, electrocatalysis, two-dimensional nanomaterials, layered structure
