Mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties of 2D nanomaterials for advanced applications

The rapid development of two-dimensional (2D) Nanomaterials, primarily graphene-based nanoplates or nanosheets, hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), dichalcogenides of transition metals (TMDs), MXenes, metal-/covalent- organic frameworks, (MOFs/COFs) over the last decade has been driven by the great success of graphene. Despite their high similarity in lattice structure, the uniqueness of their specific atomic arrangement gives rise to phenomenal properties such as electrical, mechanical, and thermal, and thus finds a broad array of applications in electronics, optoelectronics, energy storage devices, solar cells, composites, manufacturing, and so on. This paper majorly focuses on the various properties of 2D Nanomaterials including electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties. Due to the promising properties of 2D Nanomaterials, various applications of 2D Nanomaterials are highlighted. The future outlook of 2D Nanomaterials has also been discussed.
