Chemistry of 2D Materials
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since the ground-breaking experiment on graphene in 2004, 2D materials have attracted enormous attention among researchers from the chemistry, physics, materials science and engineering, medicine, and industrial sectors. Two-dimensional materials possess outstanding chemical and physical properties and hold many potential applications in electronic and optoelectronic devices, energy conversion and storage, biological engineering, nanocomposites, and membranes. Intensive research has stimulated the generation of various types of 2D semiconductors, semimetals, metals, and insulators, such as phosphorene, boron nitride, transition metal dichalcogenides, transition metal oxides/hydroxides, transition metal carbides and carbonitrides, 2D polymers, etc.
Chemical approaches have been proven to be a promising route towards the large-scale production of 2D materials and their derivatives. This Special Issue aims to focus on the various chemical strategies for 2D materials; the topics include but are not limited to:
- Preparation and synthesis of 2D materials;
- Chemical modification of 2D materials;
- Characterization of 2D materials and functionalized 2D materials;
- Properties of 2D materials and functionalized 2D materials;
- Applications of 2D materials and functionalized 2D materials.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.
MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:
- Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
- Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
- Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
- Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
- Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
