Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Graphene, as well as trans-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have appeared as the materials with the unique features that make them attractive for application in nanotechnology. Since such materials reveal a very small bandgap (or even lack of it), manipulation with the electronic structure is necessary to unlock their full potential. Successful engineering with the crystal structure of the 2D crystals leads to opening of the bandgap, and therefore, for the wide variety of applications in nanotechnology, encompassing (opto-)electronics, spintronics, sensorics, as well as surface science and biochemistry.
The main feature of this Special Issue is to provide an open-source sharing of the current significant results in the field of the graphene preparation, its further functionalization and manipulation with its physical and chemical properties, as well as their characterisation using different theoretical and experimental methods.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
