Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the continuing miniaturization and the increasing power density of electronic devices, the associated thermal management has become one of the most critical challenges to the performance, lifetime and reliability of devices. Compared with metals or semiconductors, graphene has an extremely high intrinsic thermal conductivity due to its atomistic thickness, and is widely accepted as an ideal material component for designing next-generation electronic devices with highly efficient thermal performance. Over the past several years, tremendous efforts have been made in the study of thermal properties in graphene-related materials, ranging from the exploration of thermal characterization approaches to the fundamental elucidation of the transport mechanism, and to the development of thermal regulation strategies.
This Special Issue aims to review the progress in this field and to further explore and foster graphene and its enabled materials, structures and devices for thermal management. Reviews, perspectives and original research articles are welcome. Research topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Experimental measurement and characterization of the thermal properties of graphene-related materials and structures.
- Theory and modeling of thermal transport in graphene-related materials.
- Quantum coupling and correlation of thermal–electrical–mechanical properties in graphene.
- Artificial intelligence (AI)- and machine learning (ML)-enabled design of graphene-enabled composite structures for thermal management.
- Thermal response of graphene-related materials, structures and devices to external stimuli such as mechanical loading and moisture.
- Synthesis and manufacturing of graphene-related materials for thermal applications.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Nanomaterials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
