The development of efficient and inexpensive OER electrocatalysts is still a grand challenge. Two-dimensional (2D) materials with unique structure and electronic properties have wide application prospects toward OER. In this review, firstly introducing OER electrocatalytic mechanisms and some crucial parameters for evaluating OER electrocatalysts, the latest progresses in the design and construction of 2D materials for OER is systematically reviewed, including layered double hydroxides, 2D carbon materials, transition metal dichalcogenides, metal oxide and phosphide nanosheets, metal-organic frameworks, covalent-organic frameworks and MXenes. Emphatically, some effective design and optimization strategies to improve electrocatalytic activity and durability of 2D materials as OER electrocatalysts are comprehensively generalized. The advantages and shortcomings of these 2D materials are analyzed in detail and their practical applications are deeply understood, which is crucial for the rational design of high-performance OER electrocatalysts. Finally, the challenges and future development opportunities of 2D materials for enhanced OER are discussed. Our review is expected to provide certain guidance for the development of new low-cost 2D materials as advanced OER electrocatalysts.
