Abstract: Geopolymers have attracted increasing attention as sustainable binders, but their long-term durability in chloride-rich environments remains a critical concern. To elucidate the mechanistic role of calcined layered double hydroxides (CLDHs) in regulating the mechanical properties and chloride diffusion behavior of geopolymers, geopolymer pastes containing different CLDH contents were prepared. The compressive strength and chloride diffusion coefficient were determined, and the underlying mechanism was analyzed from the perspectives of geopolymerization degree, gel structure development, and pore structure evolution. The results indicate that the incorporation of CLDHs can promote geopolymerization, which may be associated with a nano-seeding effect, increasing the amount and degree of polymerization of the gel phases, refining the pore structure, and reducing pore connectivity. As a result, the compressive strength increases from 38.1 MPa to 49.2 MPa, while the chloride diffusion coefficient decreases by approximately 31.7% when the CLDH content reaches 6 wt.%. However, when the CLDH content exceeds this level, particle agglomeration limits effective gel growth, leading to microstructural deterioration and a weakened regulating effect.
