Special Issue Information
The Special Issue is dedicated to highlighting relevant advances in the field of two-dimensional nanomaterials and their applications. 2D nanomaterials possess the highest surface-to-volume ratio of any materials: every atom is a surface atom. As a result, they show tremendous potential in applications where the interaction of the material with the surrounding environment is the key parameter. 2D nanomaterials show outstanding electrical and optical properties due to the ability to control the electronic state at the surface of the 2D materials and the possibility of chemical and structural modifications. This offers new opportunities to use the 2D nanomaterials in optoelectronics and catalysis in many different chemical reactions. 2D material-based sensors can clearly enhance sensing performances in terms of sensitivity and detection limits, down to the detection of single molecules using different types of transduction mechanism.
This Special Issue of Nanomaterials, entitled "Synthesis and Deposition of 2D Nanomaterials for Optoelectronics, Photocatalysis, and Sensing" aims to cover aspects of using 2D nanomaterials for optoelectronics, sensing, and catalysis purposes. A primary focus of this collection is the synthesis of 2D nanomaterials and integration with other nanomaterials into novel and innovative sensing and catalytic and optoelectronic devices that could impact the environmental, security, and health sectors. Welcomed formats include full papers, communications, and reviews.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2900 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.
