Advances in Low-Dimensional Materials for Electronics and Sensing Applications

Dear Colleagues,

The past several decades have witnessed a tremendous development of low-dimensional, including 0D (such as nanoparticles and quantum dots), 1D (such as nanowires and nanotubes) and 2D (such as graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides and black phosphorus) materials, which have enabled a remarkable leap in technological innovations. Owing to their unique structures and characteristics, low-dimensional materials have demonstrated superior performance and revolutionize many fields ranging from the semiconductor industry, environmental monitoring, aerospace technology to flexible electronics.

This Special Issue aims to address the recent advances in low-dimensional materials, and their widespread applications in electronics and sensing technology. We warmly welcome original research articles as well as review articles on the areas including, but not limited to: novel properties of low-dimensional materials (structural/electronic/mechanical/thermal properties); electronic/optoelectronic nanodevices; low-dimensional materials for sensing application: biosensing, medical diagnosis and gas detection; flexible nanoelectronics; MEMS/NEMS. The Special Issue will also address the current key challenges for industrial synthesis and applications of low-dimensional materials and what new technologies are on the prospect.

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. Crystals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2100 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.
