2D Materials and van der Waals Heterostructures for Optoelectronic Devices

Dear Colleagues,

2D layered materials such as graphene, black phosphorus, monolayer semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides and hBN covers a great range of bandgap from 0 to 6 eV. Beyond this, heterostructures achieved by van der Waals stacking of these layered materials reveals more intriguing fundamental physical properties and attractive functionalities. The optical and electronic properties of 2D materials and their heterostructures can be further engineered, tuned, optimised, for example with strain, nanostructured substrate, surface chemistry and so on, which brings great opportunities in optoelectronics applications.

This Special Issue focuses on the latest theoretical and experimental developments in 2D materials and van der Waals heterostructures based optoelectronic devices. We invite authors to contribute original research articles and review articles covering the current progress in 2D materials and devices. We welcomes discussion of new ideas, as well as challenges, of using this family of nanomaterials for future applications and technologies.

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.
