This talk aims to show the latest advances we have made on two-dimensional (2D) materials for energy storage and conversion. Specifically, we will show the great promise of a disruptive family of 2D transition metal layered hydroxides (LH), which exhibit a wide chemical tunability and can be produced in large scale. Indeed, a series of single and layered double hydroxides will be discussed including the Simonkolleite phases of cobalt-LH or the NiFe-LDHs of great interest in electrocatalysis, or the hybrid organic-inorganic LDHs of interest as precursors for the preparation of electrodes for rechargable alkaline batteries. Along with their synthesis and characterization, we will show the performance of these wonderful materials in the development of new battery prototypes or better electrocatalysts for the production of green hydrogen. Last but not least, we will show a new family of hybrid 2D-LHs with great potential as electrode materials: the so-called "meta-layered hydroxides".
