PhD thesis:

This project aims to expand the synthesis of chiral anion-intercalated layered double hydroxides (LDHs) by investigating a broad range of chiral anions. Different anions will be explored to determine their ability to be incorporated into the LDH structure and to assess how their chemical properties influence the synthesis process and the resulting materials. A key objective is to establish a versatile and reproducible synthesis route that can be applied to a variety of chiral anions, potentially enabling the systematic preparation of different LDH materials. In a subsequent step, the synthesised materials will be characterised and investigated for their potential application in electrocatalytic water splitting. This will help to assess whether the expanded range of anion-intercalated LDHs offers promising opportunities for electrocatalytic applications.
