Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since the isolation of graphene in 2004, two-dimensional (2D) materials have emerged as a transformative class of nanomaterials with extraordinary electronic, optical, and mechanical properties. Over the past two decades, the family of 2D materials has expanded dramatically to include transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), black phosphorus, MXenes, and numerous other layered compounds, each offering unique characteristics for next-generation electronic applications.
This Special Issue, entitled "Emerging 2D Materials for Future Nanoelectronics," aims to provide a comprehensive platform for showcasing the latest advances in the synthesis, characterization, and device integration of 2D materials for nanoelectronic applications. We aim to showcase cutting-edge research that addresses both fundamental scientific questions and practical challenges in translating these materials into functional devices.
Current developments in this field include novel 2D semiconductors with tunable band gaps, advances in large-scale synthesis and transfer techniques, heterojunction engineering for high-performance transistors, neuromorphic computing architectures, flexible and wearable electronics, and non-volatile memory devices based on 2D materials.
We welcome the submission of original research articles, reviews, and communications covering topics including but not limited to synthesis and characterization of emerging 2D materials, 2D material-based field-effect transistors and logic devices, memristors and neuromorphic devices, flexible and stretchable nanoelectronics, van der Waals heterostructures, and theoretical/computational studies on 2D electronic systems.

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.
