Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The distinctive properties of 2D materials, such as graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides, and boron nitride, have garnered much attention in recent years, leading to new perspectives for their use in various applications. These materials have unique optical and electrical properties that make them suitable for use in optoelectronic devices, such as light-emitting diodes, photodetectors, photovoltaics, photoresistors, and biophotonics.

As the field of 2D materials continues to evolve, researchers are actively exploring the design, synthesis, and characterization of these materials to better understand their potential for use in various applications. This Special Issue of Nanomaterials invites researchers to share their latest findings on 2D materials, with a focus on the potential applications of these materials in photonic and optoelectronic devices. We are seeking contributions that provide novel insights into the potential of 2D materials in these fields. Submissions can cover a wide range of topics, including but not limited to the following:

  • Synthesis and fabrication of 2D materials;
  • Characterization and properties of 2D materials;
  • Applications of 2D materials in optoelectronic devices;
  • The role of 2D materials in biophotonics.

We welcome contributions studying topics related to the above fields that pave the way for multifaceted prospects of nanostructured 2D materials.

Owing to their extraordinary physical and chemical properties, two-dimensional (2D) materials have aroused extensive attention and have been widely used in photonic and optoelectronic devices, catalytic reactions, and biomedicine. In particular, 2D materials possess a unique bandgap structure and nonlinear optical properties, which can be used as saturable absorbers in ultrafast lasers. Here, we mainly review the top-down and bottom-up methods for preparing 2D materials, such as graphene, topological insulators, transition metal dichalcogenides, black phosphorus, and MXenes. Then, we focus on the ultrafast applications of 2D materials at the typical operating wavelengths of 1, 1.5, 2, and 3 μm. The key parameters and output performance of ultrafast pulsed lasers based on 2D materials are discussed. Furthermore, an outlook regarding the fabrication methods and the development of 2D materials in ultrafast photonics is also presented. Full article
