Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Two-dimensional (2D) materials, such as graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides, and MXenes, have revolutionized the fields of nanotechnology and material science. With their unique properties—ranging from extraordinary mechanical strength and electronic conductivity to tunable optical and catalytic characteristics—these materials are at the forefront of scientific innovation.
This Special Issue aims to spotlight the latest advancements in the synthesis, characterization, and application of 2D materials. We invite contributions that explore novel fabrication techniques, uncover fundamental properties, and demonstrate transformative applications across fields such as electronics, energy storage, catalysis, and biomedicine. By bringing together cutting-edge research, this Special Issue seeks to inspire collaboration and chart the future directions of 2D material research.
We welcome original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and insightful perspectives to advance our understanding of this rapidly evolving field.
Dr. Xiao Zhi

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. 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.
