However, the sluggish reaction kinetics and the complexity of multiple reaction pathways present substantial challenges to enhancing product generation rates and selectivity. Among various catalysts, layered double hydroxides (LDHs), as anion intercalation materials, have garnered considerable attention due to their ultrathin layered structure, tunable chemical composition, and modifiable transition metal d-electron configuration. These properties endow LDHs with broad spectral absorption, efficient carrier migration, and abundant active sites. In recent years, a considerable body of research has emerged focusing on LDHs catalyst; however, comprehensive reviews and summaries of these advancements remain scarce. This paper aims to systematically review the progress in regulating LDH structures for enhanced photocatalytic CO<sub>2</sub> reduction. It begins by introducing the photocatalytic CO<sub>2</sub> reduction mechanism and the structural characteristics of LDH photocatalysts. Subsequently, it summarizes methods for modifying the electronic structure of LDH photocatalysts through defect engineering, morphology control, single-atom modification, element doping, and heterojunction construction. These optimizations could improve light absorption, electron-hole separation and migration, and surface reduction reactions, thereby enhancing photocatalytic performance.

This study focuses on achieving clean water by removing Cr(VI) using sustainable adsorbents, i. e., biochar derived from the fallen curry leaves. Intriguingly, the spent biochar is used as a supercapacitor electrode to find a sustainable solution for energy storage. Initially, biochar is prepared from fallen curry leaves by pyrolysis under an oxygen-deficient environment and characterised using multiple techniques. The prepared biochar could remove ~50 ppm of Cr(VI) from 50 mL of contaminated wastewater under optimized conditions. 1 g of CLB effectively removes 49.8 ppm of Cr(VI) from 140 ppm of the initial Cr(VI) concentration with 120 min residence time and simultaneously converts harmful Cr(VI) into harmless Cr(III). The structural, textural, and morphological properties of the prepared biochar are correlated to its adsorption capacity. Advantageously, the spent biochar, i. e., Cr(VI)-adsorbed biochar, is used as an electrode material that displays a remarkable specific capacitance of 188.44 F/g.
