Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The successful preparation of graphene in 2004 rapidly aroused a global upsurge of research into 2D structured materials. The emergence of a large number of new 2D materials in low-dimensional systems has attracted the continuous attention of many researchers. The unique planar crystal structure of 2D materials endows them with versatile physical properties, and the 2D material family covers almost all the electrical, optical, mechanical, thermal and magnetic properties involved in bulk materials, providing a host of questions for future research to explore novel physical phenomena and applications.
We are pleased to invite researchers to contribute to this Special Issue concerning the synthesis, properties, and application of 2D structured materials. The purpose of this Special Issue is to discuss the properties and structures of these materials, and to widen the community’s fundamental understanding of their use. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Novel synthesis methods and developments related to 2D materials and their heterostructure;
- Experimental and theoretical exploration of the growth mechanism for 2D materials;
- Electrical, optical, mechanical, thermal and magnetic properties of 2D materials and structures;
- Device applications of 2D materials and their heterostructures in electronics, optoelectronics, energy, flexible sensors, transistors and other functional devices;
- Electronic, magnetic, and structural phase transitions of 2D materials under extreme conditions;
- Novel applications of 2D structured materials;
- Moiré superlattices and related moiré excitons in twisted van der Waals heterostructures.

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.
