Newly Synthesized 2D Polyaramid: Structure, Properties, and Applications in Energy Storage, Electrocatalysis, and Sensing

Abstract

A newly synthesized two-dimensional polyaramid (2DPA) through experimental has sparked scientific interest within the two-dimensional (2D) materials domain. 2DPA diverse from other 2D materials due to its strong covalent network, robust chemical stability, and ease of processing. The electronic properties can be tuned different approaches such as defect formation, doping and strain engineering. The unique features of 2DPA among 2D materials paves the ways for its application in storage, sensing, and catalytic. This review discusses the key properties of 2DPA, including structural, mechanical, electronic, optical, and magnetic aspects. It also researches into the potential of pristine and engineered 2DPA through doping, defects, and strain formation for applications in hydrogen storage, sensing, and electrocatalysis. Finally, this review highlights the future potential of 2DPA, and its potential use in other application domains. The lack of experimental validation for the applications of 2DPA and its tuned forms offers a significant opportunity for researchers to discover its unexplored potential. In this regard, the present review serves as a valuable resource.
