Characterization, Synthesis and Applications of 1D and 2D Materials

Dear Colleagues,

1D and 2D materials exist in a variety of forms and composition including, for example, carbon nanotubes and graphene, which represent the 1D and 2D forms of carbon. Their remarkable properties, such as high surface area to volume ratio, surface charge, structure, anisotropic nature and tunable functionalities, have found applications in a wide range of scientific disciplines and fields of study including, for example, energy production and storage, nanotechnology, materials science, microscopy, drug delivery, biomedical science, sensing, filtration, and microelectronics. New methods to fabricate 1D or 2D materials are always being investigated, and techniques to precisely characterize these nanomaterials are vital in understanding their properties and applying them to academic and industrial scientific research. This Special Issue of Applied Sciences is therefore aimed at presenting the latest developments in the synthesis, characterization, and application of 1D and 2D materials by leading research groups throughout the international scientific community and highlights their current and future potential in scientific research and device 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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
