Abstract:

Energy conversion technologies based on various electrochemical reactions are the key for utilizing and developing sustainable energy sources in the future. Due to the unique physical and chemical properties, two-dimensional metal nanomaterials demonstrate great application potential in many electrochemical reactions, which has attracted the attention of numerous researchers. Herein, we first introduce the conventional methods and strategies for the synthesis of two-dimensional metal nanomaterials. Then, their applications in several electrocatalytic reactions are reviewed, with an emphasis on the relationship between structure and catalytic performance. Lastly, the challenges and prospects in this field are discussed.

Key words: Two-dimensional structure, Metal nanomaterial, Electrocatalysis, Energy conversion
