The last decade has seen a substantially increased scientific interest in the development and application of 2D materials. These materials are amongst the most promising candidates for radically advanced energy storage and conversion.

This reference text provides a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in 2D materials for energy storage and conversion. It covers a wide range of 2D materials and energy applications, including 2D heterostructures for hydrogen storage applications, cathode and anode materials for lithium and sodium-ion batteries, ultrafast lithium and sodium-ion batteries, MXenes for improved electrochemical applications and MXenes as solid-state asymmetric supercapacitors. Unlike other texts, the book covers 2D heterostructures, focusing on energy storage and conversion technologies and providing a holistic view of the basic properties, synthesis routes and applications. 2D materials beyond graphene, defects engineering, and the main challenges in the field are also covered.

2D Materials for Energy Storage and Conversion is an invaluable reference for researchers and graduate students working with 2D materials for energy storage and conversion in the fields of nanotechnology, electrochemistry, materials chemistry, materials engineering and chemical engineering.
