Abstract: The chemistry of two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials is important in energy storage and membrane technology. The presentation will primarily focus on 2D nanomaterials such as noble metals, MXenes, and graphene for energy storage and conversion, such as traditional Li batteries to emerging Zn batteries, as well as electrocatalysis for clean renewable hydrogen fuel production. Furthermore, porous membranes comprised of 2D interlayers constituted of layered double hydrogen (LDH), metal chalcogenides, and metal organic frameworks (MOFs) will be discussed in applications for water purification and the recovery of valuable organic solvent in pharmaceutical industries. The correlation of the unique properties and rational design of 2D nanomaterials with respect to their performances in energy storage and conversion, as well as membrane technology applications, will be described using experimental data and computational simulations. Finally, an innovative approach to using advanced three-dimensional (3D) printing technology (i.e., aerosol jet printing) of two-dimensional graphene-based materials for Zn batteries and membrane technology will also be discussed.

Keywords: Nanotechnology; 2D nanomaterials; energy storage; membrane technology.
