“… 14–20 Although some noble metal-based materials, such as RuO 2 and IrO 2 , have been demonstrated to be highly efficient OER electrocatalysts, their high cost and scarcity severely restrict their large-scale commercialization. 21–25 This serves as a strong driving force to stimulate the investigation of non-noble metal-based OER electrocatalysts.…”

Two‐dimensional/two‐dimensional (2D/2D) heterostructures consisting of two or more 2D building blocks possess intriguing electronic features at the nanosized interfacial regions, endowing the possibility for effectively modulating the confinement, and transport of charge carriers, excitons, photons, phonons, etc. to bring about a wide range of extraordinary physical, chemical, thermal, and/or mechanical properties. By rational design and synthesis of 2D/2D heterostructures, electrochemical properties for advanced batteries and electrocatalysis can be well regulated to meet some practical requirements. In this review, a summary on the commonly employed synthetic strategies for 2D/2D heterostructures is first given, followed by a comprehensive review on recent progress for their applications in batteries and various electrocatalysis reactions. Finally, a critical outlook on the current challenges and promising solutions is presented, which is expected to offer some insightful ideas on the design principles of advanced 2D‐based nanomaterials to address the current challenges in sustainable energy storages and green fuel generations.

“…[1,4,32,33,52,[64][65][66][67][68][69] In particular, a broad perspective of 2D materials-based electrocatalysts has been covered by several recent reviews. [70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81][82] However, the major focuses in these reviews of 2D electrocatalysts were limited to the electrocatalysis of extensively reported hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), [83] oxygen evolution reaction, [84] and oxygen reduction reaction, [85] while very limited attention was paid to 2D materials-based NRR electrocatalysis. The most recent review on nitrogen reduction to ammonia using 2D catalysts just briefly covered a wide range of 2D materials such as photocatalysts (e.g., TiO 2 , bismuth-based materials, layered double hydroxides, carbon nitride, graphene, MoS 2 ) and electrocatalysts (e.g., metal, graphene, carbon, boron nitride, boron carbide, transition-metal oxide/sulfide/nitride/phosphide).…”

Graphene and related elemental 2D materials have become core materials in nanotechnology and shown great promise for industrially important electrocatalysis reactions. Although excellent progress has been made over the past few years, research into the field of elemental 2D materials beyond graphene is still at an early stage. Importantly, recent research has revealed the promising efficacy of elemental 2D materials as effective nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) electrocatalysts due to their many excellent properties including high surface activities, acting as active sites for effective functionalization and defect engineering. This review provides a comprehensive account of recent advances in elemental 2D materials with a major focus on the solution-based synthesis routes and their applications in electrocatalytic NRR for ammonia (NH 3 ) production. After a concise overview of elemental 2D materials, the advantages and challenges of currently available methods for the synthesis of these 2D materials are discussed. Then, the review focuses on the use of these emerging 2D materials in the electrocatalytic reduction of N 2 for sustainable (NH 3 ) synthesis. Finally, the challenges still to be addressed, and important perspectives in this attractive field are emphasized.
