“…Figure 1 shows the laminar structure of a hydrotalcite Mg/Al with carbonate ions and water molecules in the interlaminar space. Due to its anion exchange capacity in the interlaminar space, hydrotalcites have been used to remove from water mono-, di-, and polyvalent anions, organochlorine compounds [30,31], heavy metals [32,33], and synthetic dyes [5,[34][35][36]. In addition, the chemical composition of hydrotalcites, as well as their physicochemical properties, have allowed their application in various areas such as catalysis [37], electrocatalysis [38,39], energy storage [40,41], and photocatalysis [5,29,31].…”
