Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Low-dimensional materials comprising either mostly van der Waals (vdW) or non-van der Waals (non-vdW) materials have gained a lot of attention in recent decades, opening up new possibilities in many fields of physics and material science. Such materials have great prospects for creating devices with enhanced performance for various applications in optoelectronics, catalysis, and the energy sector, and are also able to demonstrate new fundamental physical principles. Unlike 3D materials, the dimensional confinement of carriers in such materials allows researchers to flexibly control the electronic structure of a material. This fact has been confirmed in various systems: 2D layers, 1D nanotubes and nanorods, and 0D quantum dots. Low-dimensional metal-containing materials such as transition metal chalcogenides, transition metal carbides/nitrides, metal-containing non-vdW materials, metal halide perovskites, etc., have been of special interest in recent years due to their more pronounced quantum confinement effect and thus the great promise for their potential technological use.
The present Special Issue aimed at presenting the current state of the art in the theoretical and experimental study of low-dimensional metal-containing materials and their use in various fields. We invite authors to contribute original research articles and review articles demonstrating the current progress on low-dimensional metal-containing materials including, but not limited to: transition metal chalcogenides; MXenes; perovskites; kagome metals; topological metal-containing materials; laminates; MOFs; metal oxides.

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. Metals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
