Material and energy efficiencies are two key parameters that benchmark the electrochemical energy conversion and storage devices (EECSDs). Maximizing both requires researchers to grasp the limits of the physiochemical properties of core electrode materials. Ordered mesoporous materials (OMMs) have been regarded as promising electrode materials; however, their intrinsic deficiencies (e.g., plugs, inaccessible pores, and surfaces) impose limits for wide applications. 2D ordered mesoporous materials (2DOMMs) featured with an extended lateral dimension and a nanometer thickness not only inherit the structure advantages of mesoporous materials, but also have a unique 2D ultrathin feature that can fully address the imperfections of conventional OMMs. Herein, recent achievements on the preparation of 2DOMMs by combining single micelle assembly strategy with 2D bottom‐up patterning techniques including the molecular/space confined, interfacial orientated, and surface limited assembly are focused. Special focus is devoted to the newly developed synthetic strategies and their fundamental mechanisms for accurate control of some key structural parameters. Recent advances of 2DOMMs in EECSDs are also highlighted, which suggest that 2DOMMs are excellent material platforms for developing new battery chemistry as well as targeting performance optimization and cost reduction. Finally, the challenges and prospects are proposed based on current development.
