Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on recent advances in two-dimensional (2D)-material-based nanocomposites and their emerging applications in the fields of energy storage, energy conversion, and biomedicine. With their unique physicochemical properties—such as high surface area, mechanical strength, tunable electronic structure, and excellent biocompatibility—2D materials like graphene, MXenes, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), black phosphorus, and layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have opened new frontiers in interdisciplinary research.
The Special Issue invites original research and reviews that explore the following:
- Synthesis and surface engineering of 2D nanomaterials for enhanced functionality;
- Hybrid nanocomposites combining 2D materials with polymers, metals, or oxides;
- Energy applications including supercapacitors, batteries, electrocatalysts, and fuel cells;
- Biomedical applications such as drug delivery, wound healing, antibacterial systems, cancer therapy, and biosensing.
Special emphasis is placed on understanding the structure–property–performance relationship and the role of nanointerfaces in enhancing multifunctionality. Contributions that demonstrate innovative fabrication strategies, in vitro/in vivo evaluations, or computational insights are highly encouraged.
Dr. Kasirajan Kasinathan

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. Nanomaterials 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 2400 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.
