Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Since the discovery of graphene in 2004, two-dimensional (2D) materials have become one of the largest research fields in the scientific community, including but not limited to physics, chemistry, and material sciences. Two-dimensional materials have received much research interest, not only due to their intriguing fundamental physical properties, including magnetism, topology, superconductivity, etc., but also their potential applications in catalysts, ferroelectricity, spintronics, valleytronics, twistronics, etc. The rapid development of 2D materials has been demonstrated in the material’s growth, characterization, and electronic devices. However, there remain significant challenges for each research direction. Large-area synthesis, defect and interface interference, delamination and peeling, etc. are remaining bottlenecks for widespread applications of 2D materials. Beyond the widely studied graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), few kinds of 2D materials have been discovered, including dielectride, MXenes, covalent organic frameworks (COFs), BiOX, etc. The number of 2D materials is still very small. Theoretical calculations have very important role in the discovery of 2D materials. High throughput calculations combined with materials informatics accelerates the discovery of new 2D materials, which are not easily accessible far away from the equilibrium condition. The aim of this SI is to introduce the current progress of 2D materials, to explore more 2D materials with exotic electronic properties, and to further promote the potential applications of devices based on 2D materials.

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. Materials 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 2600 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.
