Composites of layered double hydroxides( LDHs) and graphene (G) are excitingn anomaterials because of their uniques urface structures and excellent physicochemical properties. Such materials offer the advantages of both components,t hat is, the large surfacea rea and ample functional groups of graphene and the outstanding layered structure and ion-exchangeability of layered double hydroxides, whilst effectively avoiding the coagulation of graphene and the instability of pristine layered double hydroxides,a nd they have been widelyi nvestigated for applications in water remediation. This Minireview begins by summarizing the most common methods for the synthesis of G@LDH composites, including hydrothermalt reatment, coprecipitation, and in situ growth. Then, we review the adsorption and catalytic ability of G@LDH materials in the removal of contaminants from water,s uch as heavy metal ions, radionuclides, dyes, and other organic pollutants. Finally,w ed iscusst he challenges and offer ap erspective on the directions of future research of G@LDH composites.
