Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, low-dimensional materials have become a class of emerging materials. Their sample sizes in one or more spatial dimensions are reduced to the nanoscale regime, leading to the unique size effects or confinement effects. Low-dimensional materials include zero-dimensional (0D) (such as quantum dot, nanoparticle, fullerene), one-dimensional (1D) (such as nanotube, nanowire, nanopillar) and two-dimensional (2D) materials (such as graphene, BN and black phosphorus monolayers). Due to their unique size effects, low-dimensional materials have exhibited excellent mechanical, thermal, electronic, optical, and chemical properties. As a basic building block, low-dimensional materials can be integrated into three-dimensional (3D) macroscopic assemblies. These 3D macroscopic structures or materials have shown enhanced functions in the fields of energy storage, sensing, catalysis, and environmental protection.
Aiming at highlighting some important concepts and developments of low-dimensional materials and their assemblies, this Special Issue will focus on the microstructures, functions, and mechanical properties/behaviors of various low-dimensional materials and their assemblies.
Because of your expertise in low-dimensional materials and their assemblies, we cordially invite you to contribute a paper to this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.
Thank you very much in advance for your time and consideration.

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. Materials 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 2600 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.
