Total oxidation of ethanol over layered double hydroxide-related mixed oxide catalysts: Effect of cation composition

- LDH-related mixed oxides with various cation composition were prepared.
- Transition metal cations (Cu, Co, Ni) were combined with Mn or Al.
- Effect of catalysts composition on ethanol total oxidation was studied.
- Catalysts reducibility and oxygen adsorption affected catalytic activity.
- Cu-Ni-Mn mixed oxide was the most active catalyst.
