31 October 2019 : Special Issue of Recent Progress in Graphene and 2D Materials

Dear Colleagues,

Research into the production of two-dimensional (2D) layered materials by resurfacing three-dimensional (3D) crystals, currently used in various aspects of our lives, has progressed rapidly since the discovery of simple approaches to synthesizing single-layer graphene over a decade ago. As a result, dozens of 2D layered materials that possess the characteristics of semiconductors, conductors, and insulators have been discovered. Previously, only small flakes of 2D layered materials could be synthesized, but, gradually, it has become possible to synthesize 2D layered materials with a larger area and single-crystalline structure. Very recently, the controlled stacking of 2D layered materials at the atomic level revealed new physical and chemical phenomena. Based on this fundamental research, new electronic, optical, energy, and sensor devices are being developed that can overcome the physical limitations of current mainstream technology.

This Special Issue is devoted to providing the latest cutting-edge fundamental and applied research across all aspects of graphene and 2D layered materials. Full papers, communications, and reviews on experimental and theoretical studies of 2D layered structures and materials are all welcome.
