Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Two-dimensional nanomaterials, including metals, oxides, transition metal dichalcogenides, and their heterostructures, have received attention due to their versatile physiochemical properties such as superconductivity, magnetization, and charge density wave, which are suitable for different applications. Further modification of these materials via defect engineering, nanoparticles deposition, Li intercalation, electron beam and light irradiation, alloying, dimension tuning, etc., lead to interesting properties suitable for various tunable device applications. Due to their superior mechanical flexibility, controllable electrical properties, planar fabrication properties, high surface-to-volume ratio, etc., 2D materials and their heterostructures have emerged as suitable materials for sensing and optoelectronics applications. These 2D materials likely offer selective surface reactivity to physisorbed species and, if semimetallic, can provide lower background carrier densities, suitable for selective detection of different analytes.

We invite researchers to contribute to this Special Issue on the synthesis, properties, and applications of 2D materials. We aim to cover the properties, structure, and fundamental understanding of the 2D materials. In brief, the following topics are the focus of this Special Issue:

  • 2D materials and their heterostructures: synthesis, fundamental, properties, and applications;
  • Electronic, magnetic, and structural phase transitions of 2d materials under pressure and temperature;
  • Theoretical and experimental investigations relevant to sensors, spectroscopy, and magnetic and phase transitions;
  • 2D materials and their heterostructures: flexible sensors, transistors, and optical and nano electronic devices;
  • New synthesis methods and developments related to 2D materials synthesis and applications;
  • Nano-composites coupled with 2d materials for enhancement of optical, magnetic, and electrical properties.

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. Crystals 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).

Sodium-ion batteries have potential as energy-storage devices owing to an abundant source with low cost. However, most electrode materials still suffer from poor conductivity, sluggish kinetics, and huge volume variation. It is still challenging to explore apt electrode materials for sodium-ion battery applications to avoid the pulverization of electrodes induced by reversible intercalation of large sodium ions. Herein, we report a single-step facile, scalable, low-cost, and high-yield approach to prepare a hybrid material; i.e., MoS2 with graphene (MoS2-G). Due to the space-confined effect, thin-layered MoS2 nanosheets with a loose stacking feature are anchored with the graphene sheets. The semienclosed hybrid architecture of the electrode enhances the integrity and stability during the intercalation of Na+ ions. Particularly, during galvanostatic study the assembled Na-ion cell delivered a specific capacity of 420 mAhg−1 at 50 mAg−1, and 172 mAhg−1 at current density 200 mAg−1 after 200 cycles. The MoS2-G hybrid excels in performance due to residual oxygen groups in graphene, which improves the electronic conductivity and decreases the Na+ diffusion barrier during electrochemical reaction, in comparison with a pristine one.
