Advanced 2D Materials and Heterostructures for Photodetector Devices with Multiple Applications

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue invites contributions on the development and application of 2D materials and heterostructures in photodetectors, with emphasis on novel designs and material innovations. Recent advances in materials like graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides, and layered semiconductors have paved the way for highly sensitive and fast-response photodetectors across various spectral ranges. We seek research that explores synthesis, interface engineering, and device fabrication aimed at enhancing photodetector performance for applications in imaging, environmental monitoring, and polarization detection.

Topics of interest include the following:

• The synthesis and characterization of new 2D materials and heterostructures;
• Interface engineering to boost photodetector sensitivity and selectivity;
• Application-driven studies for high-resolution imaging and environmental sensing.

This Special Issue aims to showcase cutting-edge work that bridges material science and photodetector technology, offering insights into the potential of 2D materials to meet emerging technological demands.

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. 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.
