Abstract:
Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are emerging as critical materials for advancing the green hydrogen economy due to their versatility, cost-effectiveness, and tunable catalytic properties. Their layered structure allows for compositional flexibility, enabling optimization of active sites for efficient electron transfer. The objective of this review is to comprehend the latest advancements in the production of sustainable LDHs with a particular emphasis on their potential for the efficient electrochemical water splitting process involving both seawater and freshwater, which is essential for the generation of green hydrogen as a sustainable energy source. The strategies of green hydrogen generation and its mechanism have been critically discussed in this review. An overview is provided on the concept of green hydrogen economy involving LDH-based materials. Ongoing research into the design and application of LDHs is anticipated to provide a sustainable avenue for green hydrogen by integrating high catalytic efficiency, resource optimisation, and adaptability to practical conditions such as seawater electrolysis, thus realising their complete potential in decarbonising energy systems.

02:17Reduction of Alkenes: Asymmetric Catalytic Hydrogenation
The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...

The formation of hydrates is a reversible reaction. Hydrate formation is influenced by steric and electronic factors accompanying the alkyl substituents on the carbonyl group: The rate of hydrate formation increases with a decrease in the number of alkyl groups attached to the carbonyl carbon. Hence,...
