2D materials with geometric sites promise enhanced performance in energy and power densities of energy-storage systems. However, concerning the practical applications, great challenges still exist and need to be overcome. First and foremost, the innovative materials should be produced on a large scale.

The storing of electricity typically occurs in chemical (e.g., lead acid batteries or lithium-ion batteries, to name just two of the best known) or mechanical means (e.g., pumped hydro storage). Thermal energy storage systems can be as simple as hot-water tanks, but more advanced technologies can store energy more densely (e.g., molten salts
