Recent Advances of Transition Metal Dichalcogenides‐Based Materials for Energy Storage Devices, in View of Monovalent to Divalent Ions

Abstract

The fast growth of electrochemical energy storage (EES) systems necessitates using innovative, high‐performance electrode materials. Among the various EES devices, rechargeable batteries (RBs) with potential features like high energy density and extensive lifetime are well suited to meet rapidly increasing energy demands. Layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), typical two dimensional (2D) nanomaterial, are considered auspicious materials for RBs because of their layered structures and large specific surface areas (SSA) that benefit quick ion transportation. This review summarizes and highlights recent advances in TMDs with improved performance for various RBs. Through novel engineering and functionalization used for high‐performance RBs, we briefly discuss the properties, characterizations, and electrochemistry phenomena of TMDs. We summarised that engineering with multiple techniques, like nanocomposites used for TMDs receives special attention. In conclusion, the recent issues and promising upcoming research openings for developing TMDs‐based electrodes for RBs are discussed.

“…In the last decade, layered two-dimensional (2D) chalcogenide materials, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) in particular, have attracted significant attention in the material science research community [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Layered or van der Waals transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), and characterized by the general formula MX 2 (where 'M' includes metals such as V, Mo, Hf, Ta, W, and Re among others, and 'X' stands for S, Se, and Te), they demonstrate semiconducting or metallic properties [8,9].…”
