Layered double hydroxides (LDHs), a versatile class of anionic clays, exhibit great potential in photocatalysis, energy storage and conversion, and environmental applications. However, its implementation in real-life devices requires the

• -layer interactions and chemical composition. One of the most interesting families is that of layered double hydroxides (LDHs), which are characterized by having a positive charge, hence the name “anionic clays”. This family exhibits hydrotalcite-like structures consisting of infinite positively charged
