Thermochemical models and data of layered double hydroxides, a review

DATA AVAILABILITY : Data will be made available on request.Applications and reports of unique properties displayed by layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are steadily increasing. Fundamental insight into LDH synthesis is essential to developing sustainable production processes, and this can be acquired through an improved understanding of their underlying thermochemistry. The collection of work presented introduces LDHs, describes essential terminology, and provides a review of currently available literature focused on modelling methods and measurement techniques used to describe and capture standard thermodynamic formation property data of LDHs. A table of standard thermodynamic formation property data of LDHs is also presented at the end of the review.http://www.elsevier.com/locate/cttaChemical EngineeringMaterials Science and Metallurgical Engineerin
