Research on two-dimensional (2D) materials has been explosively increasing in last seventeen years in varying subjects including condensed matter physics, electronic engineering, materials science, and chemistry since the mechanical exfoliation of graphene in 2004. Starting from graphene, 2D materials now have become a big family with numerous members and diverse categories. The unique structural features and physicochemical properties of 2D materials make them one class of the most appealing candidates for a wide range of potential applications.In particular, we have seen some major breakthroughs made in the field of 2D materials in last five years not only in developing novel synthetic methods and exploring new structures/properties but also in identifying innovative applications and pushing forward commercialisation. In this review, we provide a critical summary on the recent progress made in the field of 2D materials with a particular focus on last five years. After a brief background 物理化学学报 Acta Phys. -Chim. Sin. 2021, 37 (12), 2108017 (3 of 151) introduction, we first discuss the major synthetic methods for 2D materials, including the mechanical exfoliation, liquid exfoliation, vapor phase deposition, and wet-chemical synthesis as well as phase engineering of 2D materials belonging to the field of phase engineering of nanomaterials (PEN). We then introduce the superconducting/optical/magnetic properties and chirality of 2D materials along with newly emerging magic angle 2D superlattices. Following that, the promising applications of 2D materials in electronics, optoelectronics, catalysis, energy storage, solar cells, biomedicine, sensors, environments, etc. are described sequentially. Thereafter, we present the theoretic calculations and simulations of 2D materials. Finally, after concluding the current progress, we provide some personal discussions on the existing challenges and future outlooks in this rapidly developing field.

“…Intercalation of trace amount of Re (about 1.3% wt.) inside the layers of pure ZrSe 2 has resulted in metallic behaviour of the sample [14]. Another theoretical study has shown that structural defects in the pristine ZrSe 2 crystals can change its magnetic and electronic properties including metallic behaviour [36].…”

A detailed high pressure investigation is carried out using x-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy and low temperature resistivity measurements on hexagonal ZrSe 2 having an excess of 3 at.% Zr.Structural studies show that the sample goes through a gradual structural transition from hexagonal to monoclinic phase, with a mixed phase in the pressure range 5.9 GPa to 14.8 GPa. Presence of minimum in the c/a ratio in the hexagonal phase and a minimum in the full width half maximum of the A 1g mode at about the same pressure indicate to an electronic phase transition. The sample shows a metallic characteristic in its low temperature resistivity data at ambient pressure, which persist till about 5.1 GPa and can be related the presence of slight excess Zr. At and above 7.3 GPa, the sample shows a metal to semiconductor transition with opening of a very small band gap, which increases with pressure. The low temperature resistivity data show an upturn, which flattens with increase in pressure. The phenomenological analysis of the low temperature resistivity data indicate to the presence of Kondo effect in the sample, which may be due to the excess Zr.

“…However, not all metal atom insertions lead to band dispersion changes in TMDs. For instance, we controllably inserted trace amounts of rhenium (Re) atoms into single crystal layers of the semiconductor ZrSe 2 . ARPES results revealed that Re intercalation could move down the bottom of the conduction band of ZrSe 2 without band dispersion change and form a small electron pocket at the Brillouin zone boundary at the M point.…”

In recent years, there has been significant interest in the development of twodimensional (2D) nanomaterials with unique physicochemical properties for various energy applications. These properties are often derived from the phase structures established through a range of physical and chemical design strategies. A concrete analysis of the phase structures and real reaction mechanisms of 2D energy nanomaterials requires advanced characterization methods that offer valuable information as much as possible. Here, we present a comprehensive review on the phase engineering of typical 2D nanomaterials with the focus of synchrotron radiation characterizations. In particular, the intrinsic defects, atomic doping, intercalation, and heterogeneous interfaces on 2D nanomaterials are introduced, together with their applications in energy-related fields. Among them, synchrotron-based multiple spectroscopic techniques are emphasized to reveal their intrinsic phases and structures. More importantly, various in situ methods are employed to provide deep insights into their structural evolutions under working conditions or reaction processes of 2D energy nanomaterials. Finally, conclusions and research perspectives on the future outlook for the further development of 2D energy nanomaterials and synchrotron radiation light sources and integrated techniques are discussed.
