Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue on “2D Materials for Electrochemical Energy Storage and Conversion” will cover various aspects of the technology, engineering and applications demonstrating significant advances of two-dimensional materials in energy research. Since graphene was first experimentally isolated in 2004, innumerable other 2D materials such as transition metal oxides, transition metal carbides/nitrides (MXenes), dichalcogenides etc. have been increasingly investigated. The salient properties of these materials, including electrical conductivity, redox potential, and high packing density, as well as their surface chemistry (e.g., electrocatalytic activity and polarity), are unparalleled, offering them potential roles in electrochemical energy storage and conversion. Therefore, these 2D materials and their composites can be extensively exploited for electrochemical energy storage (supercapacitors, batteries, etc.) and energy conversion (fuel cells, thermoelectric devices, etc.). This Special Issue is focused on recent and innovative research articles forecasting the extraordinary potential of emerging 2D materials in energy-related applications, and will be informative and useful for the readers.

The scope includes, but is not limited to batteries, electrochemical capacitors, hybrids of both, and electrochemical water splitting.

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have emerged as a promising platform of materials for solid-state battery electrolytes due to their porous and robust structures, and their special spaces such as 1D and 3D, as well as their ability to be modified with functional groups. This review focuses on the use of COF materials in solid-state batteries and explores the various types of bonds between building blocks and the impact on key properties such as conductivity, transfer number, and electrochemical stability. The aim is to provide an overview of the current state of COF-based electrolytes for solid-state batteries and to highlight the prospects for future development in this field. The use of COF materials in solid-state batteries has the potential to overcome limitations such as low theoretical energy density, limited temperature stability, and the risk of fire and explosion associated with traditional liquid electrolyte batteries. By providing a more in-depth understanding of the potential applications of COF-based electrolytes in solid-state batteries, this review seeks to pave the way for further advancements and innovations in this field.
