Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Two-dimensional (2D) materials possess freestanding sheet-like structures with thicknesses ranging from atomic or molecular scale to few hundreds of nanometers; they have been extensively explored as a kind of emerging material since the discovery of graphene in 2004. They can be divided into 2D organic materials (i.e., 2D polymers, 2D covalent organic frameworks (COFs), and 2D metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)), 2D inorganic materials (i.e., transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), black phosphorus (BP), 2D perovskite, and MXene), and 2D carbon materials (i.e., graphene and graphdiyne) based on their composition. The planar structure of 2D materials endows them with remarkable electronic properties due to quantum confinement effects and orientation. Additionally, 2D materials with thin-layer structures have large surface areas, excellent optical transparency, and a rapid photoexcitation response at the interface to avoid the recombination of charge carriers, thereby improving the efficient utilization and conversion of photoelectron energy, and/or lowering the operating voltage/current. Moreover, the good dispersibility of 2D materials in solution affords them excellent processability. Therefore, 2D materials are favorable for fabricating photoelectric devices in an array of applications, including photodetectors, sensors (i.e., gas, chemical, and health), integrated circuits, and energy conversion (i.e., photovoltaics, photocatalysis, and generators). The purpose of this Special Issue of Micromachines, “Two-Dimensional Materials for Photoelectric Devices”, is to promote the development of 2D materials in multidisciplinary fields. We welcome the submission of original research and review articles on topics including but not limited to the synthesis of 2D materials with new methods, the fabrication of novel photoelectric devices, and their applications.

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 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. Micromachines 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.
