Two-Dimensional Materials in Lead-Tin Alloys in Li Batteries

In recent years, two-dimensional materials have emerged as a leading candidate for use in energy storage devices, thanks to the rapid acceleration of technological progress. Lead-based batteries have been the norm since they were first introduced in the 18th century; this is mostly due to their advanced recycling infrastructure. Scientists are currently focusing their efforts on converting three-dimensional lead-tin batteries into two-dimensional lead-tin batteries, which have a higher potential for future energy applications. The enhanced characteristics and properties of lead-tin-based two-dimensional materials will open up a new frontier for study. This chapter gives a brief overview of the previous findings, the materials synthesis, properties, and the potential future developments of two-dimensional lead-tin energy conversion devices.
