ZnAl LDH rebuilt in phenol solution have not capacity to open the interlayer space.
A source of O2 have not influence in the phenol photooxidation with ZnAl LDH.
Mn doped-ZnAl LDH increases the optical properties of absorption.
The role as electron and hole trap of Mn takes advantage to separate charge.
The Mn incorporation in ZnAl LDH materials improves the photocatalytic activity.
