Two-Dimensional Heterostructures: From Properties, Functionalization to Device Applications

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in the field of two-dimensional heterostructures. As research in this area continues to evolve, two-dimensional heterostructures have emerged as a cornerstone for developing next-generation nano-devices, thanks to their unique properties and versatility. This issue features a collection of articles that delve into the fundamental properties of these materials, highlighting their electronic, optical, and mechanical characteristics.

Furthermore, we explore various functionalization techniques that enhance their performance and tailor them for specific applications. Contributions from leading researchers will showcase innovative device applications, ranging from transistors and sensors to energy storage and conversion systems. By bringing together cutting-edge research and perspectives, this Special Issue aims to bridge the gap between fundamental science and practical applications, fostering collaboration and inspiring future work in the field. Both original research and review articles are welcome.
