Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid development of MXenes—emerging two-dimensional transition metal carbides/nitrides—has opened unprecedented opportunities for next-generation electromagnetic (EM) functional devices. Their unique properties, including ultrahigh electrical conductivity, tunable surface chemistry, and mechanical flexibility, position MXenes as a transformative material for EM wave manipulation, energy conversion, and intelligent sensing.
This Special Issue aims to spotlight advances in MXene-based EM devices, addressing challenges and innovations in design, fabrication, and application.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- MXene synthesis and structural engineering for tailored EM responses.
- EM shielding and absorption mechanisms, including performance optimization strategies.
- MXene-integrated wireless and communication systems, antennas, and EM metamaterials.
- Flexible and wearable EM devices for applications in healthcare, IoT, and smart environments.
- Multifunctional composites combining EM performance with thermal/mechanical robustness.
We welcome contributions that explore the theoretical modeling, experimental validation, and interdisciplinary applications of MXene-based EM technologies. This Special Issue provides a timely platform for researchers to share insights and foster collaboration in this rapidly evolving field.

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.
