Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
2D layered materials (including graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides and hexagonal boron nitride) and their van der Waals heterostructures have beeen the object of intensive investigations for their potential applications in electronics/optoelectronics, sensing, quantum and energy applications. In particular, the integration of 2D materials with bulk (3D) semiconductors, such as Si, Ge and wide-bandgap semiconductors (SiC, GaN), is currently being explored to combine their functional properties with mature microelectronics technology, thus allowing for the demonstration of advanced or radically new device concepts.
The present Special Issue aims to collect significant contributions on the scalable growth of 2D materials and on the fabrication approaches of 2D materials heterostructures. Advanced characterization methods (optical, vibrational, chemical, electrical) and theoretical modelling of these heterostructures will be in the scope of this collection. Furthermore, we will host papers addressing the challenges involved in 2D material integration and device fabrication, as well as those that demonstrate novel applications in electronics/optoelectronics and sensing.
It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full papers, short communications and reviews are welcome.

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. 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 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs).
