Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials are composed of thin layers that may have a thickness of at least one atomic layer, while nanostructures refer to materials or structures that have at least one dimension between 1 and 100 nm. These materials and structures have a high aspect ratio (surface-area-to-volume ratio) and present exceptional properties that reflect their strong potential for widespread use in a variety of industries.
The entire knowledge and effective use of 2D nanomaterials and nanostructures require more time and effort. They can be designed at the molecular (nanometer) level to take advantage of their tiny size and novel physicochemical properties, which are generally not observed in their typical, bulk counterparts. Their most interesting feature may be that they produce a unique nature with new characteristics and capabilities by modifying the shape and size at the nanoscale level. The revealing, prediction, and control of those characteristics, as well as the synthesis of new 2D nanomaterials and nanostructures, requires extensive experimental, computational, and theoretical work to be performed by the research community in order to take full advantage of them in specific applications.
This Special Issue will collect high-quality papers that advance the field of 2D nanomaterials and nanostructures, providing new knowledge through the development and/or application of any modern computational, analytical, and/or experimental method.
It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
