Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the miniaturization of semiconductor devices reaching the physical limit, Moore's law is facing a development bottleneck. It is challenging for the conventional materials to keep up with the expanding computing demands of the huge amount of data. With their unique advantages, two-dimensional materials are expected to solve the performance bottleneck of chips. In addition, two-dimensional materials also exhibit novel quantum properties related to the topology, strong correlation, charge density wave, and superconductivity. The recent studies have also found that these unique properties can be accurately regulated on a large scale. Two-dimensional materials have become an excellent tool for the research of condensed matter physics and material science.

Within the scope mentioned above, this Special Issue intends to publish a series of scientific advances that reveal the up-to-date theoretical and experimental achievements in the electrical, magnetic, and optical properties of two-dimensional nanomaterials and heterostructures and the related optoelectronic, magneto-electronic devices. Original research articles, as well as reviews, in the growing field of two-dimensional nanomaterials are welcomed.

Graphene oxide (GO) has attracted significant attention as a nano-reinforcement for cement-based materials, owing to its exceptional mechanical properties and abundant surface functional groups. However, the precise mechanisms governing its effects in cement composites remain inadequately understood due to inconsistencies and gaps in the existing literature. This review conducts a comprehensive analysis of the dispersion and reinforcement effects of GO in cement materials, focusing on three key areas: (1) challenges associated with achieving uniform dispersion of GO in the high-pH environment of cement slurries and potential strategies to address them; (2) the influence of GO on the macroscopic properties of cementitious composites, including workability, load-bearing capacity, flexural strength, fracture resistance, and durability; and (3) the reinforcement mechanisms of GO, encompassing its role in hydration kinetics, alterations to the calcium-silicate-hydrate (C-S-H) structure, and bonding interactions at the cement matrix interface. Furthermore, recent advancements in optimizing the dispersion and reinforcement effects of GO, such as surface modification techniques, are explored, emphasizing its potential for multifunctional and intelligent applications. This review aims to provide engineering professionals with the latest insights into the application of graphene oxide as a nano-reinforcement in cement-based composites, while offering valuable guidance and direction for future research in this field.
