Recent Advances in Graphene-Based Materials
This special issue belongs to the section “Materials Chemistry“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagus,
Graphene-based materials have revolutionized various scientific and technological fields due to their exceptional electrical, optical, and mechanical properties. Their integration into flexible nanoelectronics, sensors, energy storage systems, and photodetectors has opened new avenues for advanced applications.
This Special Issue focuses on the latest developments in graphene-based materials, including their synthesis, functionalization, and practical applications. Topics of interest include graphene oxide (GO), reduced graphene oxide (RGO), graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs), and hybrid graphene structures. The issue will also explore emerging trends in 2D material heterostructures, combining graphene with transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), perovskites, and other layered materials for enhanced performance in optoelectronics, catalysis, and energy storage.
We invite contributions that span experimental and theoretical advancements, offering insights into novel fabrication techniques, material modifications, and applications. This Special Issue aims to provide an open access platform for researchers to share their latest findings and foster interdisciplinary collaborations in the field of graphene-based materials.

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
