Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs), also known as two-dimensional anionic clays, as well as the derived materials, including hybrids, nanocomposites, mixed oxides, and supported metals, have been highlighted as outstanding heterogeneous catalysts with unlimited applications in various processes involving both acid-base (addition, alkylation, acylation, decarboxylation, etc.) and redox (oxidation, reduction, dehydrogenation, etc.) mechanisms. This is mainly due to their flexibility in chemical composition allowing finely tuning the nature of the active sites and controlling the balance between them. Additionally, LDHs display a large anion exchange capacity and the possibility to modify their interlayer space, constraining the size and type of reactants entering in the interlamellar space. Further, their easy and economic synthesis, with high levels of purity and efficiency, both at laboratory and industrial scale, make LDH and their derived materials excellent solid catalysts. This Special Issue collects original research papers, reviews, and commentaries focused on the catalytic applications of these remarkable materials.

Using organic-base tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) is a viable, cheap, and fast option for the synthesis of MgZnAl-LDH-type materials by both co-precipitation and mechano-chemical methods. TMAH presents several advantages, such as the smaller quantity of water required in the washing step compared to the use of inorganic alkalis, the prevention of LDH contamination with alkali cations, and its action as a template molecule in texture tailoring. It also has disadvantages, such as its presence in small quantities in the resulting layered materials. Regardless of the use of organic/inorganic bases and co-precipitation/mechano-chemical methods, zincite stable phase was found in all the synthesized solids. The basicity of catalysts followed the trend: mixed oxides > reconstructed > parent LDH. The memory effect of LDH was supported only by the presence of Mg and Al cations, while Zn remained as a zincite stable phase. The catalytic activities for Claisen-Schmidt condensation of benzaldehyde with cyclohexanone provided values higher than 90% after 2 h, with a total selectivity toward 2,6-dibenzylidenecyclohexanone, while self-condensation of cyclohexanone yielded no more than 7.29% after 5 h. These behaviors depended on catalyst basicity as well as on the planar rigidity of the compound. Full article

A functionally structured catalyst was explored for ethanol steam reforming (ESR) to generate H2. Aluminum lathe waste strips were employed as the structured catalytic framework. The mixed metal oxide (Li-Al-O) was formed on the surface of Al lathe waste strips through calcination of the Li-Al-CO3 layered double hydroxide (LDH), working as the support for the formation of Ni catalyst nanoparticles. NaOH and NaHCO3 titration solutions were, respectively, used for adjusting the pH of the NiCl2 aqueous solutions at 50 °C when developing the precursors of the Ni-based catalysts forming in-situ on the Li-Al-O oxide support. The Ni precursor on the Al structured framework was reduced in a H2 atmosphere at 500 °C for 3 h, changing the hydroxide precursor into Ni nanoparticles. The titration agent (NaOH or NaHCO3) effectively affected the physical and chemical characterizations of the catalyst obtained by the different titrations. The ESR reaction catalyzed by the structured catalysts at a relatively low temperature of 500 °C was studied. The catalyst using NaHCO3 titration presented good stability for generating H2 during ESR, achieving a high rate of H2 volume of about 122.9 L/(gcat·h). It also had a relatively low acidity on the surface of the Li-Al-O oxide support, leading to low activity for the dehydration of ethanol and high activity to H2 yield. The interactions of catalysts between the Ni precursors and the Li-Al-O oxide supports were discussed in the processes of the H2 reduction and the ESR reaction. Mechanisms of carbon formation during the ESR were proposed by the catalysts using NaOH and NaHCO3 titration agents. Full article

NiAl layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are promising bifunctional catalysts comprising tunable redox and Lewis acidic sites. However, most studies of NiAl LDH employ alkali hydroxide carbonate precipitants which may contaminate the final LDH catalyst and leach into reaction media. Here, we report an alkali-free route to prepare NixAl LDHs with a composition range x = 1.7 to 4.1 using (NH4)2CO3 and NH4OH as precipitants. Activation of LDHs by calcination–rehydration protocols reveal NixAl LDHs can be reconstructed under mild hydrothermal treatment (110 °C for 12 h), with the degree of reconstruction increasing with Ni content. Catalyst activity for tributyrin transesterification with methanol was found to increase with Ni content and corresponding base site loadings; TOFs also increased, suggesting that base sites in the reconstructed LDH are more effective for transesterification. Hydrothermally reconstructed Ni4.1Al LDH was active for the transesterification of C4–C12 triglycerides with methanol and was stable towards leaching during transesterification. Full article

The Mn-containing mixed-oxide-supported bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl) catalysts were prepared by calcining their corresponding parent hydrotalcite supported BiOCl. The crystal structure of BiOCl was found to be intact during calcination, while significant differences appeared in the chemical state of Mn and the redox capacities of the catalysts before and after calcination. Compared to the hydrotalcite-supported catalysts, the mixed-oxide-supported BiOCl showed much higher catalytic performance in the oxidation removal of formaldehyde due to the synergetic catalysis of more surface oxygen vacancies and higher surface basicity. The complete removal of formaldehyde could be achieved at 70 °C, and the removal efficiency was maintained more than 90% for 21 h. A possible reaction mechanism was also proposed. Full article

This contribution concerns the effect of the chemical composition of the brucite-type layer of bi-cationic LDH materials ZnxAl and MgxAl (x = 2–5) and tri-cationic LDH MgyZnzAl (y + z = 4, y = 1, 2, 3) on their catalytic activity for olefin epoxidation with H2O2 in the presence of acetonitrile. LDH materials were prepared by the standard method of co-precipitation at constant pH 10, using an aqueous solution of the corresponding metal nitrates and a basic solution containing NaOH and Na2CO3. The fresh LDHs were calcined to yield the corresponding mixed oxides and then the recovery of the LDH structure by hydration of the mixed oxides was performed. The resulting samples were characterized by AAS, XRD, DRIFT, DR-UV–Vis, BET and determination of basic sites. The results of the catalytic tests for olefin epoxidation were well correlated with the basicity of the samples, which was in turn related to the M2+/Al3+ ratio and the electronegativity of different bivalent metals in the brucite-type layer.

In this work, we successfully exfoliated MgCr-(NO3−) LDH with large purity by a simple formamide method followed by post-hydrothermal treatment and characterized by different physico-chemical techniques. The UV-DRS study persuades the red-shifted absorption band and suitable band gap of MgCr-(NO3−) LDH for optimum light harvestation ability related to the optical properties. Alternatively, the production of elevated photocurrent density of MgCr-(NO3−) LDH (3:1, 80 °C) in the anodic direction was verified by the LSV study, which further revealed their effective charge separation efficacy. These MgCr-LDH nanosheets (3:1, 80 °C) displayed the superior Rhodamine B (RhB) degradation efficiency of 95.0% at 0.80 kW/m2 solar light intensity in 2 h. The tremendous catalytic performances of MgCr-LDH (3:1, 80 °C) were typically linked with the formation of surface-active sites for the charge trapping process due to the presence of uncoordinated metallocenters during the exfoliation process. Furthermore, the maximum amount of the active free atoms at the edges of the hexagonal platelet of MgCr-LDH causes severance of the nanosheets, which generates house of platelets of particle size ~20–50 nm for light harvestation, promoting easy charge separation and catalytic efficiency. In addition, radical quenching tests revealed that h+ and •OH play as major active species responsible for the RhB degradation. Full article

Hydrotalcites (HTCs) are promising solid base catalysts to produce advanced biofuels by aldol condensation. Their main potential lies in the tunability of their acid-base properties by varying their composition. However, the relationship between the composition of hydrotalcites, their basicity, and their catalytic performance has not yet been fully revealed. Here, we investigate systematically the preparation of HTCs with the general formula of Mg6M3+2(OH)16CO3·4H2O, where M3+ stands for Al, Ga, Fe, and In, while keeping the Mg/M3+ equal to 3. We use an array of analytical methods including XRD, N2 physisorption, CO2-TPD, TGA-MS, FTIR-ATR, and SEM to assess changes in the properties and concluded that the nature of M3+ affected the HTC crystallinity. We show that the basicity of the HTC-derived mixed oxides decreased with the increase in atomic weight of M3+, which was reflected by decreased furfural conversion in its aldol condensation with acetone. We demonstrate that all MgM3+ mixed oxides can be fully rehydrated, which boosted their activity in aldol condensation. Taking all characterization results together, we conclude that the catalytic performance of the rehydrated HTCs is determined by the “host” MgO component, rather than the nature of M3+. Full article

Photoelectrocatalysis is a novel technique that combines heterogeneous photocatalysis with the application of an electric field to the system through electrodes for the degradation of organic contaminants in aqueous systems, mainly of toxic dyes. The efficiency of these combined processes depends on the semiconductor properties of the catalysts, as well as on the anodic capacity of the electrode. In this study, we propose the use of active hydrotalcites in the degradation of Congo red dye through processes assisted by ultraviolet (UV) irradiation and electric current. Our research focused on evaluating the degradation capacity of Congo red by means of photolysis, catalysis, photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, and photoelectrocatalysis, as well as identifying the effect of the properties of the active hydrotalcites in these processes. The results show that a maximum degradation was reached with the photoelectrocatalysis process with active hydrotalcites and a copper anode at 6 h with 95% in a half-life of 0.36 h. The degradation is favored by the attack of the OH• radicals under double bonds in the diazo groups where the electrode produces Cu2+ ions, and with the photogenerated electrons, the recombination speed of the electron–hole in the hydrotalcite catalyst is reduced until the complete degradation.

CuAlCe oxides were obtained from hydrotalcite-type precursors by coprecipitation using a M2+/M3+ ratio of 3. The collapse of the layered double hydroxide structure following the thermal treatment leads to the formation of mixed oxides (CuO and CeO2). The catalytic performance of the copper-based catalysts was evaluated in the total oxidation of two Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): ethanol and toluene. XRD, SEM Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectrometry (EDX), H2-temperature programmed reduction (TPR) and XPS were used to characterize the physicochemical properties of the catalysts. A beneficial effect of combining cerium with CuAl-O oxides in terms of redox properties and the abatement of the mentioned VOCs was demonstrated. The sample with the highest content of Ce showed the best catalytic properties, which were mainly related to the improvement of the reducibility of the copper species and their good dispersion on the surface. The presence of a synergetic effect between the copper and cerium elements was also highlighted. Full article

A Zn,Al layered double hydroxide (LDH), with the hydrotalcite structure and the mixed oxide obtained upon its calcination at 650 °C, was tested in the adsorption and photocatalytic degradation of 4-Nitrophenol in aqueous solution. The Zn,Al LDH was fast and easily obtained by the coprecipitation method. Hydrothermal treatment under microwave irradiation was applied to compare the effect of the ageing treatment on the photocatalytic behavior. The efficiency of the synthetized solids was compared to that of a commercial ZnO. The ageing treatment did not improve the performance of the original samples in the degradation of 4-nitrophenol. The activity of the synthetized solids tested exceeded that observed for the reaction with commercial ZnO. The photocatalytic performance of the original non-calcined hydrotalcite is similar to that of commercial ZnO. The calcined hydrotalcite showed a better performance in the adsorption-degradation of the contaminant than ZnO, and its reusability would be possible as it recovered the hydrotalcite-like structure during the reaction.

An efficient cobalt-based layered double hydroxide (LDH)-catalyzed Michael addition of an aryl halide compound onto activated olefin as a Michael acceptor is described. The synthesized catalytic materials were characterized using different techniques to investigate their physicochemical, morphological, and textural properties. The partial isomorphic substitution of magnesium by cobalt ions in the cationic sheets of the layered double hydroxide (CoMgAl-LDH) appears to be an appropriate catalyst to cause this reaction. This technique enables compound synthesis resulting from the 1,4-addition in good to excellent yields. Moreover, ultrasound was found to have beneficial effect on this reaction due to the cavitation phenomenon. Full article

Layered double hydroxides (LDH) are an extended class of two-dimensional anionic materials that are known for their unique lamellar structure, versatile composition, and tunable properties. The layered architecture allows the intercalation between the positively charged sheets of a vast variety of anionic species, including oxometalates and polyoxometalates (POM). The hybrid composites that were developed using POM and LDH show great advantages when compared to both parent materials causing the appearance of new functionalities, which may lead to remarkable contributions in many areas of application, especially in catalysis. The current review paper emphases all of the crucial works already existing in literature that are related to the large group of POM-LDH solids and their use as catalysts for fine organic synthesis. The new trends in the development of the POM-LDH catalysts are highlighted based on the overview of 121 scientific articles that were published between 1984 and 2019. The main topics are focused primarily on the synthesis, characterization, and the catalytic applications of different LDH systems hosting polyoxometalates with low, medium, and high nuclearity. The intense exploration of the POM-LDH field has led to the obtaining of countless effective catalysts used in various types of reactions, from condensation, esterification, halodecarboxylation, to oxidation and epoxidation.
