Advanced Electronics and Optoelectronics Based on 2D Materials and vdW Heterostructures

Dear Colleagues,

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have created a new paradigm in atomic-scale devices. Numerous applications such as logic devices and advanced optoelectronics have been extensively explored in relation to 2D materials owing to their compelling properties, including atomically thin thicknesses, dangling bond-free surfaces, and appropriate band gaps, etc. Moreover, the weak vdW interaction between the layers means that 2D materials can be easily exfoliated, and offers great flexibility to stack a wide variety of 2D materials to construct artificial vdW heterostructures without the constraint of atomically precise commensurability. These 2D vdW heterostructures have emerged as promising way of further engineering the electronic and optoelectronic properties of 2D materials, showing great promise for a variety of novel functional devices, including advanced transistors, multilevel inverters, memory devices, photodetectors, photovoltaics, etc. Motivated by the rapid progresses in 2D materials, this Special Issue highlights the material preparation, property modulation, device design, and their device explorations towards advanced electronics and optoelectronics.

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. Electronics 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.
