A mini review on two dimensional (2D) materials for energy storage applications

Abstract

The discovery of new class of nanomaterials referred to as two-dimensional (2D) materials create extensive attention due to their unique features such as very small size, high anisotropy, high strength, high young’s modulus and excellent flexibility. The addition of numerous 2D materials, including black phosphorous, transition metal oxides, MXene materials, boron nitrides and others, were discovered following by the graphene. The most common 2D material are widely used in energy storage devices due to its large specific surface area, large lateral size and superior performance and adaptability. Due to the environmental, conductive, and catalytic uses, MXene materials are also attaining great attention. The synthesis and applications of two-dimensional materials like graphene and MXene, are the primary focus of this review paper.
