Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Two-dimensional (2D) materials heterostructures have emerged as one of the most promising platforms for next-generation nanodevices. By combining different 2D layers with complementary electronic, optical, and mechanical properties, these heterostructures exhibit novel quantum effects, tunable band alignments, and strong interfacial interactions. Such unique characteristics make them highly attractive for developing advanced sensors, photodetectors, and multifunctional optoelectronic devices.
Despite the rapid progress, several challenges remain to be addressed, including scalable fabrication of high-quality heterostructures, reliable control of surfaces and interfaces, and stable integration into practical device architectures. Innovative nanomanufacturing technologies, advanced characterization methods, and theoretical simulations are, therefore, essential to bridge the gap between fundamental science and real-world applications.
This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for reporting recent advances in the design, fabrication, and application of 2D material heterostructures for sensing and optoelectronic technologies. Both original research articles and review papers are welcome. Submissions highlighting novel nanomanufacturing strategies, cost-effective device integration, and multifunctional applications are particularly encouraged.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Two-dimensional materials heterostructures for sensors and optoelectronic devices;
- Scalable fabrication and integration of 2D materials;
- Surface and interface engineering in layered nanostructures;
- New nanomanufacturing and nanofabrication technologies;
- Nanoscale simulations of heterostructures and devices;
- New characterization techniques of 2D materials heterostructures.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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 2400 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.
