Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The novel prospect of utilizing 2D materials for advanced sensing applications became possible with the invention of graphene in 2014. Since, then variety of 2D materials such as BN, transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) which include MoS2, and MXenes have been synthesized. However, the wide variety of approaches used in fabricating these structures have often resulted in large differences in sensing properties, as their sensing properties depend on a variety of structural factors such as strain, impurities, and defects in the film. Furthermore, shape and size also influence the sensing ability of nanomaterials.
The aim of this Special Issue is to identify the effect of fabrication techniques on the structure of synthesized 2D films and report the corresponding sensing characteristics. This will help researchers cross-engineer structures based on the measured sensing characteristics, leading us one step closer to fabricating 2D materials for commercial sensing applications with high reproducibility, low cost, and excellent performance. This will also have implications on other applications where 2D materials are utilized, such as flexible electronics, strain sensors, nanogenerators, and innovative nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS).
Potential topics include, but are not limited to: the material characterization of 2D materials; bio- and environmental sensing using 2D materials, electrical devices, diode fabrication using 2D materials, the structural modification of 2D materials using non-equilibrium techniques, and future perspectives for 2D materials.

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.
