Because of their unique layered structure and highly tunable chemical composition based on different metal species and interlayer anions, LDHs have many interesting properties, such as unique anion-exchanging ability, easy synthesis, high bond water content, memory effect, nontoxicity, and biocompatibility. Based on these properties, LDHs are considered as very important layered crystals with potential applications in catalysis [6], controlled drugs release [7], gene therapy [8], improvement of heat stability and flame retardancy of polymer composites [9], controlled release or adsorption of pesticides [10], and preparation of novel hybrid materials for specific applications, such as visible luminescence [11], UV/photo stabilization [12], magnetic nanoparticle synthesis [13], or wastewater treatment [14].
