Advances and Applications of 2D Materials

Dear Colleagues,

Two-dimensional (2D) materials are an emerging class of nanostructured low-dimensional materials. The change in properties, caused by a reduction in the dimensionality of 2D materials, means that they are often well-suited to applications where the bulk material would be unsuitable. Remarkable applications of 2D materials are already uncountable, but the world of 2D materials has only been partly explored, numerous discoveries are still to come.

Therefore, we welcome submissions from Applied Sciences, Applied Nano and Nanomaterials that reveal the huge potential of 2D materials, including, but not limited to, the following topics:

• Graphene;
• Xenes: silicene, stanene, phosphorene, borophene, tellurene, etc.
• Transition Metal Dichalcogenides;
• Hexagonal-Boron Nitride;
• MXenes;
• 2D perovskite;
• Topological materials;
• Synthesis and modelling of 2D materials;
• Van der Waals heterostructures;
• 3D/2D materials hybrid systems;
• 2D materials characterization and metrology;
• Electronic/optoelectronic applications of 2D materials: logic devices, high frequency electronics, photodetectors, THz electronics;
• 2D materials based spintronics;
• 2D materials based sensors: environmental, biomedical applications;
• Energy: thermoelectrics, batteries and supercapacitors, hydrogen evolution reaction, light harvesting…
