Graphene Up: From Single Layer to Applications and Devices

Dear Colleagues,

Graphene possesses outstanding properties that can be further improved through controlled interaction with both organic and inorganic materials to create hybrids. This Special Issue is devoted to graphene as a building block and orienting material in nanoarchitectures for application and devices. Papers are welcome on the synthesis, characterization and applications of hybrid 2D–2D graphene, graphene–organic frameworks, graphene in vertically and perpendicularly oriented frameworks, graphene as a structure-directing material, layer-by-layer growth of graphene, graphene interlayered with hybrid materials, and supported and multilayered graphene materials. Graphene-hybrid devices may include, among others, adsorbent membranes, sieves, energy storage, and batteries. Applications of graphene nanoarchitectures may display enhanced electronic, thermal, transport, or mechanical properties or provide further insight into the mechanisms subtending the graphene–hybrid properties.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
