Abstract Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) is a category of 2D materials that possess excellent physicochemical properties for enhancing photocatalytic (PC), electrocatalytic (EC), and photoelectrochemical (PEC) performances. However, pristine LDH encounters challenges like sluggish charge–carrier mobility, high rate electron–hole recombination, low conductivity, tendency to agglomerate, making them unsuitable practical applications. Therefore, modifications such as composite preparations,...
