Energy
storage and production is one of the significant issues
of the 21st century, motivating the search for new materials for energy
storage devices. Supercapacitors (SCs) play a prominent role among
the class of energy storage devices and conversion systems since they
provide greater specific capacitance, high power density, longer life
span, fast charge–discharge rate, excellent circulation feature,
low cost, and are safe to use. The selection of electrode material
has great importance in the performance of the supercapacitor. Two-dimensional
(2D) layered nanomaterials gained much interest in the fabrication
of electrode materials due to their unique physicochemical properties.
The current review explores the synthesis and application of novel
2D materials, such as graphene, MXene, transition metal dichalcogenides
(TMDs), hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), carbon nitrides, metal oxides/hydroxides,
and black phosphorus (BP), as supercapacitor electrodes in detail.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
