Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), which are two-dimensional (2D) layered materials, have been comprehensively studied as promising materials for the realization of various evolving applications such as optoelectronics and flexible electronics. High transport mobility, saturation velocity, and thermal conductivity make graphene a favorable material for high-frequency analog communication applications and quantum technologies. The true potential of 2D materials is believed to lie in the possibility of combining different materials to form a heterostructure, which offers excellent features that can be applied to next-generation electronic applications. Researchers have been exploring interesting physical phenomena and engineering applications for new ultrathin devices by creating 2D heterostructures by conventional mechanical exfoliation, CVD growth, and transferring materials to make stacks. The ambipolar properties of graphene provide opportunities for increased functionality in unconventional circuit architectures. People are trying to utilize this asset in different ways, but the most important aspects are the perfect growth of graphene, substrate preparation, transfer, and device fabrication. In electronic device preparation, it is critical to understand the properties of graphene.
This Special Issue welcomes papers on topics including but not limited to:
- Growth of graphene and related 2D materials on different types of metals and insulators;
- Growth of few-layer graphene and stacking with TMDs (heterostructures);
- Ink-based techniques (graphene oxide, h-BN, etc.);
- Wafer-scale integration for BOEL;
- Cold- and hot-walled chemical vapor deposition techniques or other methods;
- Clean transfer of graphene with different techniques;
- Suitable substrate preparation;
- Device fabrication;
- Mobility measurements at room and low temperature;
- Characterization of graphene by means of different techniques;
- Application of graphene.

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. Coatings is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
