Abstract

Recently, the development of graphene nanosheets has ushered 2D nanomaterials into the limelight for energy storage and conversion devices. These graphene-like nanostructures, including transition metal hydroxides (TMHs), transition metal oxides (TMOs), transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), MXene, etc., feature atomic-level thickness, large surface area, tunable electronic properties, remarkable mechanical strength, and unique confined effect.
