In the present paper, on the basis of our work. advances in study of the catalysts of polyacid-type hydrotalcite-like are reported and reviewed.Using polyoxometalates (POM) as pillaring species and layered double hydroxides (LDH) as host matter, a new class of catalytic materials, LDHPOM, has been synthesized by five different methods. Their acidic and oxidative catalytic properties have been investigated by several research groups. The above mentioned information is given in this review.
