Abstract

Abstract: Secondary batteries, as portable energy storage and supply devices, are becoming an attractive research field that is drawing a lot of attention. Selection of electrode materials plays a crucial role in the battery performances. However, most bulk materials have a lot of limitations when used as battery anodes for lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) and sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs). Recently, two‐dimensional nanomaterials (2D materials) have been fabricated to address these problems. The high specific surface area of 2D materials can facilitate the electrochemical process during charge–discharge cycles. Therefore, anode materials with expected performances can be designed and be synthesized. In this Review, we summarize the recent development of metal‐containing 2D nanomaterials for battery anode applications. The relation between 2D structure and electrochemical performance of materials have been presented. Additionally, existing problems and possible solutions have also been discussed. Abstract : Wheel of four‐tune : Four kinds of 2D nanomaterials, that is, transition metal oxides (TMOs), transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDs), transition metal carbides, nitrides or carbonitrides (MXenes), and their composites are separately discussed for their battery anode application. The relationship between 2D structure and electrochemical performance of the materials is demonstrated. Unsolved problems and possible developments are also presented.
