Abstract
Graphene and related elemental 2D materials have become core materials in nanotechnology and shown great promise for industrially important electrocatalysis reactions. Although excellent progress has been made over the past few years, research into the field of elemental 2D materials beyond graphene is still at an early stage. Importantly, recent research has revealed the promising efficacy of elemental 2D materials as effective nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) electrocatalysts due to their many excellent properties including high surface activities, acting as active sites for effective functionalization and defect engineering. This review provides a comprehensive account of recent advances in elemental 2D materials with a major focus on the solution-based synthesis routes and their applications in electrocatalytic NRR for ammonia (NH3) production. After a concise overview of elemental 2D materials, the advantages and challenges of currently available methods for the synthesis of these 2D materials are discussed. Then, the review focuses on the use of these emerging 2D materials in the electrocatalytic reduction of N2 for sustainable (NH3) synthesis. Finally, the challenges still to be addressed, and important perspectives in this attractive field are emphasized.
