Abstract
This chapter focuses on the recent development in designing layered double hydroxides (LDH) with a unique layered structure, electron distribution, and physicochemical properties for efficient water splitting through oxygen evolution reaction and hydrogen evolution reaction. Furthermore, the existence of multiple metal cations invests a flexible tunability in the host layers; the distinct intercalation characteristics lead to flexible ion exchange and exfoliation. However, the poor conductivity and hard-to-control dimensions with lateral size and bulk thickness of LDH hampered their electrocatalytic activity. Herein, to promote the further development of LDH for water-splitting technology, the strategies on the design of LDH, including nanostructuring, hybrid LDH with conductive materials, cations partial substitution, interlayer anions replacement, vacancies creation, combination of computational methods, and operando technique assistance. The discussion of significant challenges and perspectives of LDH will be favorable to explore and develop the high-efficiency catalyst.
