Potentials of 2D Materials for Emerging Electronic Devices

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, which focuses on the sensing potential of two-dimensional (2D) materials for modern devices. Two-dimensional materials have ushered in a new era in sensor technology, owing to their exceptional electrical conductivity, high surface-to-volume ratio, mechanical flexibility, and tunable band structures. These properties make them uniquely suited for the development of next-generation sensors with ultra-high sensitivity, fast response times, and multifunctionality.

This Special Issue aims at bringing together recent advancements in the synthesis, functionalization, and device integration of 2D materials—such as graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), black phosphorus, MXenes, and their van der Waals heterostructures—for high-performance sensing applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, chemical, biological, optical, and physical sensors, as well as innovations in fabrication methods, signal amplification strategies, and hybrid systems.

We especially encourage submissions that address challenges related to scalability, selectivity, low power operation, and integration with IoT, AI, and wearable platforms. This Special Issue aligns closely with the journal’s scope and seeks to curate a focused yet impactful collection of at least 10 contributions to foster further research and industrial translation.

We look forward to receiving your contributions. 

Prof. Dr. Ghulam Dastgeer
Guest Editor

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. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2100 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.
