The intrinsic properties of hydrotalcite, particularly its layered structure and high surface area, position it as an exceptional support material for various catalytic applications. As a form of layered double hydroxide (LDH), hydrotalcite offers a stable and versatile platform for dispersing active catalytic species, thereby enhancing their reactivity and selectivity. The ability to tailor the layered double hydroxide properties through controlled synthesis makes hydrotalcite-based supports highly customizable for specific chemical processes.

One of the key advantages of using hydrotalcite as a catalyst support is its inherent basicity, which can be further tuned through modifications in its hydrotalcite chemical formula. This basic character is particularly beneficial in reactions where basic sites are crucial for catalysis. For example, in the decomposition of isopropanol, hydrotalcite-derived catalysts often exhibit a preference for acetone formation, a reaction catalyzed by basic sites. The study of the isopropanol decomposition mechanism reveals how the support's properties directly influence the catalytic outcome.

Furthermore, the thermal stability of hydrotalcite-derived mixed metal oxides ensures that the support remains intact under typical reaction conditions, preventing sintering of the active phase and maintaining catalytic efficiency over extended periods. The catalytic applications of hydrotalcite as a support are expanding, encompassing areas such as environmental catalysis, fine chemical synthesis, and energy-related reactions. The interaction between the active metal species and the hydrotalcite support can also lead to synergistic effects, boosting overall catalytic performance.
