Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), with the generalized formula MX2 (where M denotes a transition metal element and X denotes a chalcogen), have attracted extensive attention in the past decade due to their striking physical properties and versatility for a broad range of applications. Depending on their chemical compositions and crystalline structure, TMDs are diverse, ranging from metallic, semi-metallic, semiconducting, and insulating, to superconducting. When TMDs are scaled down to a few- or single-unit layer, unique electronic and optical properties arise, which are of great potential for applications in a variety of fields including electronics, photonics, catalysis, sensing, spintronics, and valleytronics devices. Although TMDs have been extensively studied in past years, new and exciting discoveries in properties and applications of TMDs emerge rapidly. The present Special Issue on "Recent Advances in Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (TMDCs) and Their Applications” would serve as a platform for researchers to report their latest results and findings in TMDs and related devices, including synthesis methods, physical and chemical properties, theoretical calculations, nanostructures and hybrid-structures fabrication procedures and their applications in various devices. We believe that this Issue is needed at present to promote the future development of TMDs and their practical applications.

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. Crystals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
