Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since the discovery of graphene in 2004, two-dimensional (2D) materials have become an increasingly important area of research in both the academic community and the semiconductor industry due to their exceptional electrical and optical properties. The range of materials that are available in 2D form has grown to include semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides, insulating boron nitride, ferromagnetic insulators and superconductors. These 2D materials hold tremendous promise for a range of novel applications that are not possible with bulk materials. In order to fully harness the potential of 2D materials, experimental and theoretical advances are needed in their growth and characterization. Many growth techniques have been developed for the synthesis of 2D materials on rigid and flexible substrates. However, there are still various issues and challenges with the synthesis of some 2D materials with high crystallinity on a large scale. In addition, the physical, optical, electrical, and mechanical properties of several 2D materials remain unexplored. This Special Issue assembles original articles that present novel methods to enable the growth of a broad spectrum of 2D materials, and that characterize their physical and electronic properties. This Special Issue also explores the potential uses of 2D materials, and the applications of their exceptional performances in electronics, clean energy, bioengineering and biosensing. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to:
- New growth/synthesis of 2D materials and their heterostructures.
- Characterization of 2D materials and their heterostructures.
- Theoretical study of 2D materials and modeling or design of the 2D materials

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. Materials 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 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.
