The one-step continuous method combines co-precipitation with aging into a single process, which reduces the overall time to obtain crystalline LDH materials compared to the two-step processes. However, in some cases the resulting materials were highly heterogeneous, contained impurities of other inorganic phases and had low surface areas of around 6 m 2 g -1 . With more precise control of the reactants concentration in the hydrothermal continuous synthesis of functionalized LDHs, materials with delaminated structures were obtained . This method is potentially suitable for scaling the manufacture of high-surface area functionalized LDH-based materials, typically obtained via a hydrothermal synthesis in very low yields. However, there is little further work reported to date.
