Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
2D nanomaterials including graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), black phosphorus (BP), MXenes, metal-organic framework (MOF), hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), layered double hydroxides (LDHs) and transition metal oxides (TMOs) provide a series of advantages including high specific surface area, excellent semiconductor performance and abundant surface-active sites. Despite this, 2D nanomaterials also have their own limitations when they are employed in diverse applications. 2D heterostructures can overcome the limitations of individual 2D nanomaterials. Novel properties which are not related to any of the 2D nanomaterials can also be realized.
The aim of the Special Issue Synthesis, Structure and Applications of 2DHeterostructures is to provide updated design strategies of 2D heterostructures and explore the structure-property correlations between various 2D junctions including 0D/2D, 1D/2D, 2D/2D and 3D/2D systems and their multifunctional applications. Future research perspectives for the exploitation of emerging 2D heterostructures along with novel synthetic strategies will also be proposed.

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.
