Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rise of two-dimensional (2D) materials has placed nanofabrication and nanomanipulation at the forefront of modern materials science. These precision techniques—encompassing both bottom-up synthesis and top-down assembly—are essential for achieving atomic-level control over materials like Xenes (graphene, black phosphorus, etc.), transition metal dichalcogenides and MXenes, monolayers of covalent (COFs), and metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), etc. This control is critical for realizing their full potential, especially when constructing complex van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures.
This Special Issue aims to capture the latest advances in nanomanipulation and nanofabrication technologies for 2D materials. Our scope covers the development of new methods (synthesis, transfer, patterning) and the fundamental and applied research on 2D nanomaterials and devices prepared using these techniques.
Progress in this area is a foundational requirement for numerous cutting-edge fields, including the following:
- Electronics (e.g., advanced transistors);
- Optoelectronics (e.g., highly efficient photodetectors and LEDs);
- Quantum Technologies (e.g., Moiré superlattices and twistronics);
- Sensing (e.g., ultra-sensitive gas and biosensors);
- Flexible Devices.
We welcome all papers that detail the nanofabrication and nanomanipulation of 2D materials, whether through the development of new methods, the demonstration of new heterostructures, or the study of devices prepared in such ways. We invite research articles, communications, and comprehensive reviews.
Prof. Dr. Oleksandr Ivasenko

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.
