“…In recent years, besides graphene, many other two-dimensional (2D) materials have been investigated and reported as anode materials. These include transition-metal carbides or nitrides (MXenes), 12 metal chalcogenides, 22–25 metal oxides (TMOs), 26,27 and compounds made up of elements from groups IIIA, IVA, VA, or VIA (Be 2 P 3 , 28 BSi, 29 C 3 N, 30 and GeP 3 31 ). Overall, these anode candidates possess a distinct capacity to offer vast surface areas, which makes them a promising option for LIBs/NIBs/KIBs in many ways.…”
