The rational design of anode materials plays a significant factor in harnessing energy storage. With an in‐depth insight into the relationships and mechanisms that underlie the charge and discharge process of two‐dimensional (2D) anode materials. The efficiency of rechargeable batteries has significantly been improved through the implementation of defect chemistry on anode materials. This mini review highlights the recent progress achieved in defect chemistry on 2D materials for advanced rechargeable battery electrodes, including vacancies, chemical functionalization, grain boundary, Stone Wales defects, holes and cracks, folding and wrinkling, layered von der Waals (vdW) heterostructure in 2D materials. The defect chemistry on 2D materials provides numerous features such as a more active adsorption sites, great adsorption energy, better ions‐diffusion and therefore higher ion storage, which enhances the efficiency of the battery electrode.
