Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to attract contributions covering the field of two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials, or more precisely, functionalized 2D nanostructures with advanced catalytic properties. Functionalization of 2D nanostructures prevents (re)aggregation during wet processing and extends the scope of their applications by the incorporation of functional units on their surface/periphery. Over the last decade, an interdisciplinary interest in these unique materials has emerged. In this Special Issue, we intend to provide a platform for experts on the topic to present their latest results dealing with 2D functionalized nanomaterials for energy, environmental, and medical catalytically-driven processes.
The scope of the topics to be covered include but are not limited to the following:
- 2D nanomaterials
- graphene, including graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide, doped-graphene, etc.
- elemental analogues of graphene, e.g., phosphorenes
- transition metal dichalcogenides
- MXenes
- 2D perovskites
- 2D polymers
- 2D MOFs & COFs
- functionalization
- covalent functionalization
- supramolecular/noncovalent functionalization
- particle growth
- heterostructures
- defect engineering
- doping
- catalytically-driven applications
- electrocatalysis
- photocatalysis
- organocatalysis
- thermocatalysis
As Guest Editors, we expect that excellent works on the functionalization of 2D nanomaterials for catalytically-driven processes will be collected in this Special Issue, which will act as a useful tool not only for specialists in the field but also for the broader readership of the journal.

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.
