•Thin two-dimensional (2D) crystals are highly attractive for energy application.•Combustion synthesis shows significant potential for processing 2D solids.•Combustion-derived 2D crystals successfully integrated into energy technologies.
In recent years progress in the materials research field has been associated with the discovery of graphene and other two-dimensional atomic crystals. Those materials uniquely combine many exceptional properties, which make them highly attractive for a variety of applications. Despite significant advancement in synthesis and processing, the relevance of those materials is essentially driven by progress in their production. In the past 3 years, several unique inexpensive combustion-based approaches have been developed to prepare the nanomaterials. This article specifically aims to be an overview of current trends and as a perspective of combustion synthesis of 2D-crystals. We summarized the benefits of extreme combustion conditions for atomic-scale processing and integration of these materials for advanced energy applications.
