Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, “Advances in Two Dimensional Materials: From Properties to Applications”, highlights the transformative potential of two-dimensional materials in cutting-edge technologies. These materials, including graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides, etc., exhibit unique quantum effects and tunable properties, making them ideal for next-generation semiconductors and electronic devices. The development of heterostructures, combining distinct 2D materials, enables tailored functionalities, enhancing device performance in fields such as nanoelectronics, optoelectronics, and quantum computing.
Despite significant progress, challenges remain in optimizing the synthesis, characterization, and integration of 2D materials into scalable systems while preserving their exceptional properties. Innovative approaches are needed to harness quantum effects for practical applications and to design heterostructures with synergistic electronic and optical characteristics.
We invite contributions from researchers worldwide on topics including, but not limited to, the following:
- Synthesis and characterization of novel two-dimensional materials with unique properties;
- Design and fabrication of heterostructures for advanced semiconductor devices;
- Exploration of quantum effects in 2D materials for quantum technologies;
- Applications of 2D materials in high-performance electronics, sensors, and energy devices;
- Advanced computational modeling of 2D material systems for optimized performance.
We look forward to receiving your submissions.
Dr. Lin Jing

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.
