Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since the discovery of graphene, two-dimensional (2D) materials have become the focus of nanoscience and materials science. The large surface-to-volume ratio, tunable surface properties, and outstanding physical and chemical properties of 2D materials have triggered intensive investigations. The synthesis of high-quality and large-scale 2D materials, as well as the exploration of their applications, including nanoelectronics, catalysts, sensors, bio-applications, and energy conversion and storage, will advance scientific research and facilitate commercial development. In this issue, we focus on the synthesis and applications of existing and newly predicted 2D materials, including, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Synthesis of high-quality and large-scale 2D materials by physical and chemical approaches;
- Synthesis and prediction of novel 2D materials, including van der Waals and moiré heterostructures;
- Fundamental understanding and modulation of surface and chemical properties;
- Synthesis and basic properties of 2D-material-based heterostructures and other architectures;
- Applications including high-performance nanoelectronics, catalysts, photocatalysts, photovoltaics, batteries, supercapacitors, sensors, bio-applications, etc.
As showcased in this Special Issue, 2D materials exhibit a wide range of new and unusual properties that can be employed to fabricate improved and novel electronic and electro-optical devices. We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
