The invention is related to a layered double hydroxide electride which can be produced without high-temperature treatment, and a production method of which cost can be reduced. The layered double hydroxide electride contains electrons between layers and has an electron density of 2.0×10.sup.18 cm.sup.−3 or more. The method of producing the layered double hydroxide electride includes a step of mixing a starting layered double hydroxide with an electron exchanger for exchanging anions existing between layers of the starting layered double hydroxide for electrons to produce the layered double hydroxide electride.

This invention relates to the regeneration of spent alkaline solutions, for example, alkaline electrolyte solutions used in metal/air batteries, specifically in aluminum/air batteries. The invention provides methods and systems to regenerate alkaline electrolyte solutions by adding water and optionally other solvents to spent electrolyte solutions, thus precipitating metal hydroxides from the spent electrolyte solution.
