Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Beyond the renowned graphene, an array of other 2D materials, such as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), and phosphorene, have emerged, showcasing a plethora of unique and diverse properties. The pace at which these materials are being discovered and studied is truly remarkable. These atomically thin materials, with their unique electrical, thermal, optical, and mechanical properties, have unlocked novel avenues in the realms of electronics, photonics, energy storage, and even biomedical applications.
The burgeoning interest from both industry and academia underpins their significance. Grasping a comprehensive understanding of these 2D materials is crucial not only for their fundamental research, but also their technological applications. This Special Issue aims to highlight cutting-edge advancements in the synthesis, characterization, application, and theoretical computations of thin 2D materials. We are particularly interested in studies focusing on innovative fabrication techniques, novel characterization methods, groundbreaking applications, and advanced theoretical modeling and predictions that elucidate the intricate behaviors and potentials of these materials.
Original research articles, reviews, and perspective pieces that delve into the aforementioned areas are warmly welcomed. Together, let us sketch the evolving landscape of thin 2D materials and explore the innovations they are set to bring, forging pathways for future research and applications.
