Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In 2004, A. Geim and K. Novoselov, from the University of Manchester, opened a new path in physics and electronic applications when they discovered an easy way to produce graphene, a two-dimensional (2D) allotrope of carbon. Since then, the interest in graphene and, more recently, other two-dimensional materials (such as MoS2, silicene, hexagonal boron nitride, and black phosphorous) has risen exponentially. While graphene shows excellent monopolar carrier transport properties, alternative 2D materials have the potential to provide digital applications with ultra-scaled devices featuring nanometer gate lengths. In general, the atomic-scale thickness of these materials, their large surface-to-volume ratio, and their excellent electronic and mechanical properties make them interesting candidates for future electronic devices capable of offering exciting new applications in, among other things, flexible electronics, high-frequency applications, optoelectronics, and sensors. However, such promising applications will only be possible with much research effort at all levels. Techniques for producing such 2D materials in a viable way for industrial manufacturing, material and device modeling, characterization, and prototype development are all necessary to make 2D materials viable in the future.
For this Special Issue, we welcome the submission of original research articles, communications, and reviews on recent advances in graphene and/or novel 2D materials and the electronic devices, sensors, and applications that use them.

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.
