Recently, layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have been studied as anion conductors for fuel cell applications because of their anion exchange properties and better thermal stability (up to 150 °C) than those of anion exchange polymers. However, the conductivity of the LDHs is very low, under 10−3 S cm−1 at room temperat…
