Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since the discovery of graphene in 2004, research has accelerated exponentially with regard to 2D carbon-based nanomaterials, unraveling the exceptional properties that graphene provides. As the years have gone by, graphene has not only dominated the “2D scene” but graphene-like, graphene-based materials, or better, graphene derivatives, have emerged on the horizon with even more effective and larger applicability in various research fields, capable of competing and even surpassing the quintessential graphene. The aforementioned materials have shown a remarkably large nonlinear optical response and great nonlinear optical properties, rendering them as the “go-to” materials in many applications, including sectors such as ultra-fast optical communication, optical limiting, logic devices, ultrafast optical switching, data storage and processing, image transmission, optical computing, security and defense, etc. Knowledge of the nonlinear optical properties is a pre-requisite for the implementation of 2D materials in the applications mentioned above. In this view, the scope of this Special Issue of Nanomaterials is to track the recent advances in nonlinear optical properties and the applications of novel two-dimensional carbon-based materials by the leading research groups in the field.

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). 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.
