Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Two-dimensional (2D) materials have gained tremendous attention due to their unique properties and potential applications in various fields. The recent advances in synthesis methods, characterization techniques, and novel applications of these materials have sparked research interest worldwide. The objective of this Special Issue titled "Advances in Two-Dimensional Materials: From Synthesis to Applications" is to highlight recent breakthroughs in the field of 2D materials, spanning the entire spectrum from synthesis to applications. We aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the cutting-edge research, with a focus on the latest advances and emerging trends.
In particular, the topic of interest includes but is not limited to:
- The synthesis and characterization of 2D materials;
- The physical and chemical properties of 2D materials;
- Structure–property relationships in 2D materials;
- Modification of 2D materials via heterojunctions;
- Modification of 2D materials via doping;
- Transport phenomena and electronic properties of 2D materials;
- Defect engineering, strain engineering, and surface functionalization;
- The applications in energy storage and conversion, electronics, sensing, and biomedical fields.
This Special Issue provides a comprehensive overview of the recent advances in 2D materials research, from their synthesis to applications. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, and scientists in the fields of material science, nanotechnology, and other related areas. By bringing together a diverse range of contributions from experts in the field, this Special Issue aims to provide a platform for knowledge exchange, inspire further research directions, and catalyze collaborations among researchers in the exciting field of 2D materials.
We welcome researchers who are working in the field of material science, nanotechnology, and other related disciplines to submit their latest research findings, advances, and practical applications. The article types can be original research papers, review articles, or brief communications.
