Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Low-dimensional materials have attracted a lot of attention due to their tailorable physical and chemical properties and a wide variety of structures. Their unique features led to many discoveries in fundamental physics and chemistry, as well as the utilization of low-dimensional materials in various applications.
With at least one dimension being significantly smaller than the other two, low-dimensional materials consist of zero-dimensional (0D) (nanoparticles, quantum dots), one-dimensional (1D) (nanotubes, nanowires), and two-dimensional (2D) (graphene, TMDC monolayers, nanowalls, nanosheets) materials. With the continuous development of nanotechnology, a broad range of synthesis techniques were demonstrated to synthesise low-dimensional materials, from mechanical exfoliation to solvent-based methods and chemical vapour transport reactions. Each synthesis method has its advantages and disadvantages, depending on the desired properties of low-dimensional materials. Their properties depend not only on their dimensionality but also on their crystal structure.
As the crystal structure and the dimensionality depends heavily on the synthesis method, this Special Issue will focus on the synthesis of novel low-dimensional materials, as well as on the relationship between the synthesis method and the crystal structure.
We cordially invite you to contribute a paper to this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.
Thank you very much in advance for your time and consideration.

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.
