Synthesis, Physicochemical Properties, and Applications of Low-Dimensional Materials

Dear Colleagues,

Welcome to this Special Issue on "Synthesis, Physicochemical Properties, and Applications of Low-Dimensional Materials". Owing to their exceptional structural, electronic, optical, and magnetic characteristics, low-dimensional materials have attracted considerable interest in recent times. These materials, which have reduced dimensions in one or more directions, display captivating phenomena that are different from their bulk equivalents. Moreover, they present vast opportunities for a wide range of applications such as nanoelectronics, energy storage, bioscience, diagnostics, environmental science and technology, catalysis, etc.

This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers to showcase their latest findings, innovative methodologies, and theoretical advancements in the realm of low-dimensional materials. Specific focus is placed on their synthesis, physicochemical properties, and novel applications in a variety of research and technology areas. We invite researchers from diverse backgrounds, including physics, chemistry, materials science, and engineering, to contribute their original research articles or reviews.

Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the synthesis and growth of low-dimensional materials, characterization techniques, theoretical modeling and simulation, their structural and physical properties, and applications in devices and technologies. We encourage both experimental and theoretical contributions that shed light on the fundamental aspects and potential applications of low-dimensional materials.

We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions to this Special Issue.

Dr. Raffaello Papadakis
Guest Editor

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.
