Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in the field of two-dimensional heterostructures. As research in this area continues to evolve, two-dimensional heterostructures have emerged as a cornerstone for developing next-generation nano-devices, thanks to their unique properties and versatility. This issue features a collection of articles that delve into the fundamental properties of these materials, highlighting their electronic, optical, and mechanical characteristics.
Furthermore, we explore various functionalization techniques that enhance their performance and tailor them for specific applications. Contributions from leading researchers will showcase innovative device applications, ranging from transistors and sensors to energy storage and conversion systems. By bringing together cutting-edge research and perspectives, this Special Issue aims to bridge the gap between fundamental science and practical applications, fostering collaboration and inspiring future work in the field. Both original research and review articles are 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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
