This book provides a comprehensive and practical resource on layered double hydroxides (LDHs). Its strengths lie in the structured table of contents, which seamlessly progresses from fundamentals to applications, catering to readers with varying expertise. The emphasis on real-world applications, such as in energy storage and environmental remediation, adds practical relevance, making the book valuable for both academics and industry professionals. The interdisciplinary approach to bridge the gap between researchers and practitioners is a commendable effort. The book delves into various synthesis and surface functionalization strategies, offering readers a comprehensive understanding of how to design multifunctional LDHs for specific applications. It provides step-by-step explanations, protocols, and case studies to help researchers and industrial professionals to navigate the complexities of working with multifunctional LDHs. Split into three sections the book starts with Introduction and Fundamentals of LDHs, moves onto Applications of Multifunctional Layered Double Hydroxides, and concludes with Case Studies and Real-World Applications.

The extraordinary physicochemical properties of layered double hydroxides offer great potential in a wide range of applications, and interest in this class of 2D material has grown significantly in the last decade. Applying functionalisation strategies to LDHs unlocks their heightened performance and opens up new opportunities for the design of novel materials.Readers new to the field will gain the fundamentals of functionalised LDHs in the first part of the book, which examines their sources and synthesis. Researchers already working with LDHs will discover new possibilities as the second part explores the wealth of applications available around the world, including energy storage, photocatalysis, environmental remediation, sensing, agriculture, and medicine. The final part explores several case studies with real-world applications, before concluding with an examination of the emerging trends and future outlook in the field.
