This review focuses on the influence of crystallographic phases on the electrochemical properties of LHs, a topic that remains relatively underexplored. We discuss several synthetic approaches that allow for precise tuning of these phases, along with the most suitable characterization techniques, including synchrotron-based methods, and highlight key spectroscopic features that aid in accurate phase identification.
