Article Abstract
Since the first proposal of antimonene in 2015, extensive research attention has been drawn to its application in energy storage and conversion because of its excellent layered structure and fast ion diffusion properties. However, in contrast to the revolutionary expansion of antimonene-based energy devices, reviews on this topic that summarize and further guide the design of 2D antimonene for energy storage and conversion are rare. In this review, the structure, physicochemical properties, and popular synthesis approaches of antimonene are first summarised. Specifically, the rational design and application of antimonene in energy storage and conversion such as electrochemical batteries and supercapacitors, electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction, electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction, electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction, photocatalytic reduction of organic pollution, photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide (CO), solar cells and photovoltaic devices are outlined. Finally, opportunities and challenges are presented to further advance the development and application of antimonene in energy conversion and storage.

Developing high-efficiency bifunctional electrocatalysts for both oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is an essential prerequisite for energy conversion and storage technologies. This work systematically investigates the potential of a series of transition metals (TM = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, Re, Os, Ir, Pt, Au) loaded on two different sites of antimonene (I/II-TM-Sb) as ORR/OER bifunctional electrocatalysts by density functional theory (DFT) methods. For ORR, the calculation results show that I-Ag-Sb, II-Pt-Sb and II-Pd-Sb have the best ORR activity, and their overpotential values are 0.

Using low energy electron microscopy we investigate the origin of the contrast between domains in a heterostructure composed of twisted two-dimensional antimonene layers. The contrast is observed in the bright-field microscopy mode under normal incidence of the electron beam. The heterostructure consists of a single-domain β phase grown on a top of two-domain α phase antimonene on a W(110) surface.

The rising new field of twistronics, which is centered on the mechanically twisted multilayers of two-dimensional materials (2DMs), is in need of direct growth methods for the desired samples. Here, we present a comprehensive strategy for synthesizing twisted multilayer 2DMs a spiral growth mode. This strategy is based on a first-principles calculations investigation of β-antimonene (β-Sb) on a pitted Ge(111) substrate surface with step-loops.

Two-dimensional (2D) metal-semiconductor (MS) junctions with their atomically thin nature are crucial for nanoelectronics. However, van der Waals (vdW) junctions face interfacial tunneling barriers, and lateral junctions suffer from chemical bonding disorders, both limiting carrier transport. Herein, based on the layer-dependent semiconductor-to-semimetal transition in 2D bismuthene (Bi) and antimonene (Sb), lateral seamless MS junctions with native chemical bonds are constructed to inhibit tunneling barriers and produce high-quality interfaces.

Antimonene (Sb) is an emerging two-dimensional material belonging to group VA that has shown excellent chemical and physical properties with applications in optoelectronics, energy, catalysis, and biomedical sciences. However, the biodegradability of Sb sheets in response to immune stimulation and its impact on degradation by-products have yet to be reported. Herein, we investigated the biodegradability of Sb nanosheets by treating them with human myeloperoxidase (hMPO) and plant peroxidase (horseradish peroxidase-HRP) in the presence of a low concentration of hydrogen peroxide.
