Layered nanomaterials for renewable energy generation and storage

Abstract

This study focuses on potential applications of two-dimensional (2D) materials in renewable energy research. Additionally, we briefly discuss other implementations of 2D materials in smart systems like self-healing coatings and electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide and nitrogen. We highlight the recent advancements in energy storage technology, phase change materials, materials' fundamental characteristics, and summarise perspectives of their future applications in energy technology and related fields. Furthermore, we discuss the use of machine learning and big data for optimisation and further development of 2D materials.
