Two sets of anions, namely mono- and dicarboxylic ferrocene, were intercalated to produce two different active materials: MgAl-FcMono and MgAl-FcDi. The electrochemical investigation of these two materials was performed in two model electrolytes: 1 M LiTFSI in H<sub>2</sub>O and Pyr<sub>13</sub>TFSI. In the aqueous electrolyte, the first charge reaches the full theoretic capacity of ca. 60 and 40 mAh g<sup>−1</sup> for both materials. However, significantly less capacity is stored and delivered during subsequent cycles. In-situ UV/vis experiments identified the loss as a release of charged ferrocene anions from the LDH during oxidation in the charging process, which is more severe for MgAl-FcMono. It is possible to prevent this release of redox species by the use of the ionic liquid Pyr<sub>13</sub>TFSI as a high concentrated electrolyte.
