2D materials can span over a broad range of electrical properties. Despite their thickness in the range of the size of single atoms they can be metallic, semiconducting or electrically insulating. In some cases, these materials can have a conductivity even exceeding the one of copper metal. Due to these properties, 2D materials could improve conventional energy storage systems when used as electrodes or separators in batteries or (super)capacitors. For instance, they can suppress the formation of dendrites in secondary batteries. If they are functionalized with catalytically active centers, 2D materials could contribute to efficient energy conversion in the future, for instance if used as artificial leaves for photosynthesis.

In this workshop recent results from fundamental and applied research in energy storage and conversion with 2D materials will be discussed.
