Special Issue on Graphene and 2D Alternative Materials: from Preparation to Potential Applications

In recent years, graphene and many other related 2D-materials have been established as having high potential technological applications; in fact, a few of them are already being applied. This special issue aims to provide a current view of the field and its future directions with a collection of full articles, communications, perspectives and reviews. It will feature papers from the chemistry, physics, materials science and biochemistry disciplines. 

Topics Covered:

• Preparation (bottom-up and top-down approaches)
• Theoretical calculations
• Fundamental physical and chemical properties
• Device fabrication for electronics
• Energy harvesting and composites
