Abstract

The vigorous development of two-dimensional (2D) materials brings about numerous opportunities for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their unique 2D layered structure, large specific surface area, outstanding mechanical and flexibility properties, etc. Modern technologies for production of 2D materials include but are not limited to mechanochemical (solid-state/liquid-phase) exfoliation, the solvothermal method and chemical vapor deposition. In this review, strategies leading to the production of 2D materials via solid-state mechanochemistry featuring traditional high energy ball-milling and Sichuan University patented pan-milling are highlighted. The mechanism involving exfoliation, edge selective carbon radical generation of the 2D materials is delineated and this is followed by detailed discussion on representative mechanochemical techniques for tailored and improved lithium-ion storage performance. In the light of the advantages of the solid-state mechanochemical method, there is great promise for the commercialization of 2D materials for the next-generation high performance LIBs.
