Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

After the first successful special issue focused on layered double hydroxide-based catalytic materials available here, we propose the second edition titled “Layered Double Hydroxide-Based Catalysts for Advanced Chemical Technologies”. Layered double hydroxides (LDH) together with their derived materials, such as hybrids, nanocomposites, mixed metal oxides, and supported metals, were shown to be excellent heterogeneous catalysts for a wide range of chemical, photochemical and electrochemical processes. However, they have not had their last word yet! Indeed, due to their great compositional flexibility and ability to intercalate between their nanosheets both organic and inorganic species, new multifunctional catalytic materials can be obtained with practically unlimited applications in various processes resulting in new chemical technologies or the improvement of the existing ones. Thus, the present Special Issue collects original research papers, reviews, and commentaries focused on new and outstanding catalytic applications of all kinds of LDH-based materials.

A series of composites was prepared starting from five types of LDHs, which were then exchanged with three types of metallo-phthalocyanines, and, in the end, magnetic nanoparticles were attached. In the case of LDHs containing Fe, characterization data showed that there was a partial oxidation from Fe2+ to Fe3+. Samples containing evident LDH structures performed better in general than the ones containing iron oxide mixtures, the composites being more active towards amoxicillin removal compared with ampicillin removal. The nature of the phthalocyanine did not have such a great influence, although some differences in the activity were observed. The removal was a combination between adsorption and photocatalytic degradation. The best composites for this application were those based on Mg0.325Fe0.325Al0.25-LDH prepared by co-precipitation in the presence of NaOH and Na2CO3. They presented high adsorption capacity in 10 min and, at the same time, high photocatalytic activity for both amoxicillin and ampicillin. Full article

The proposed study is devoted to highlighting the importance of mixed oxides preparation through the layered double hydroxide route for undesirable gas pollutants abatement. Different series of Cu/Al/Ce mixed oxides with similar or different stoichiometrics were prepared and compared for toluene and/or CO oxidation. Catalyst synthesis methods influence material properties and activity for oxidation reactions. The high activity for the oxidation reactions of mixed oxides derived from LDH is explained by the Cu/Ce synergy. The presence of CO in the CO/toluene mixture does not affect the total toluene oxidation, and the toluene does not affect the total oxidation of CO conversion at low temperatures. The most effective catalytic material (Cu6Al1.2Ce0.8) presents a long lifetime stability for total toluene oxidation and resistance to CO poisoning in mixtures. Full article

Abstract
Acid–base M2+MgAlO and M2+AlO mixed oxides (where M2+ = Mg, Cu, Co, Zn, and Ni) were obtained by thermal decomposition of the corresponding layered double hydroxide (LDH) precursors and used as catalysts for cyclohexanol and benzaldehyde condensation under [...] Read more.
Acid–base M2+MgAlO and M2+AlO mixed oxides (where M2+ = Mg, Cu, Co, Zn, and Ni) were obtained by thermal decomposition of the corresponding layered double hydroxide (LDH) precursors and used as catalysts for cyclohexanol and benzaldehyde condensation under solvent-free conditions. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and temperature-programmed desorption of CO2 (TPD-CO2). Gas chromatography–mass spectroscopy (GC/MS) was used for the identification and quantification of the product mixtures. In the reaction of cyclohexanol and benzaldehyde on M2+MgAlO and MgAlO catalysts, a 2,6-dibenzylidene-cyclohexanone was obtained as the main product as a result of consecutive one-pot dehydrogenation of cyclohexanol to cyclohexanone and subsequent Claisen–Schmidt condensation. In the reaction mixture obtained in the presence of NiAlO, CoAlO, and ZnAlO catalysts, a cyclohexyl ester of 6-hydroxyhexanoic acid was detected together with the main product. This is most likely a by-product obtained after the oxidation, ring opening, and subsequent esterification of the cyclohexanol. Full article

In this work, the LDH approach was used to prepare MnCoAl mixed oxides with various textural and structural frameworks for the purpose of enhancing the total oxidation of ethanol. Our results showed that the catalytic activity of the MnCoAl oxides was influenced by the Mn/Co ratio and the gas atmosphere used during synthesis and thermal treatment. Rietveld refinement was processed to estimate the proportion of phases presented in the prepared materials. Our findings indicated that the generation of Mn2CoO4 spinel and Mn5O8 lamellar phases improved the redox properties and enhanced the active sites in the MnCoAl oxides. Notably, we observed that the catalytic activity at low temperatures of the catalyst increased with the decrease in the cobalt amount. It was also demonstrated that using an N2 atmosphere during the preparation of the materials is a promising route to prevent the formation of undesirable phases in the LDHs and their corresponding oxides. The presence of an O2-free atmosphere during the LDH synthesis positively affects the total ethanol transformation to CO2 over the oxide catalysts. Full article

CO selective methanation (CO-SMET) is a promising method for deep CO removal from H2-rich gases. In this study, a series of RuNi/MMO catalysts are prepared using the support MMO-N derived from NiAl-NO3-LDHs, which was prepared from NiAl-CO3-LDHs via an acid–alcohol ion-exchange reaction. The prepared catalysts were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, XPS, H2-TPR, CO-TPD, CO2-TPD, NH3-TPD, and TG. The RuNi/MMO-N catalyst demonstrated excellent CO-SMET performance, successfully reducing the CO to less than 10 ppm with a selectivity greater than 50% in a reaction temperature window ranging from 180 °C to 260 °C. Compared with similar catalysts derived from NiAl-CO3-LDHs, the exceptional CO-SMET capability of the RuNi/MMO-N catalyst is suggested to be associated with a more effective hydrogen spillover, a larger number of electron-rich Ni sites, and a higher density of acid sites on the surface of RuNi/MMO-N, which are conducive to CO adsorption and the inhibition of CO2 methanation.

Ternary transition metal phosphides (TTMPs) with two-dimensional heterointerface and adjustable electronic structures have been widely studied in hydrogen evolution reactions (HER). However, single-phase TMPs often have inappropriate H* adsorption energy and electronic transfer efficiency in HER. Herein, we utilized the heterogeneity in the crystal structure to design an efficient and stable catalyst from the NiCoP nanowire@NiCoP nanosheet on nickel foam (NW-NiCoP@NS-NiCoP/NF) for HER. Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) with a heterogeneous matrix on crystal surfaces were grown under different reaction conditions, and non-metallic P was introduced by anion exchange to adjust the electronic structure of the transition metals. The hierarchical structure of homologous NiCoP/NF from the LDH allows for a larger surface area, which results in more active sites and improved gas diffusion. The optimized NW-NiCoP@NS-NiCoP/NF electrode exhibits excellent HER activity, with an overpotential of 144 mV, a Tafel slope of 84.2 mV dec−1 at a current density of 100 mA cm−2 and remarkable stability for more than 500 h in 1.0 M KOH electrolyte. This work provides ideas for elucidating the rational design of structural heterogeneity as an efficient electrocatalyst and the in situ construction of hierarchical structures. Full article
