Materials Science: Two-Dimensional Materials in Next-Generation Optoelectronics

Two-dimensional (2D) materials represent a promising frontier in the development of next-generation optoelectronic devices. These materials, such as graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), and phosphorene, offer unique electronic, optical, and mechanical properties that make them highly suitable for next-generation optoelectronic devices. Their unique properties, including tunable bandgaps, high carrier mobility, and strong light-matter interactions, make them ideal candidates for applications in photodetectors, LEDs, lasers, and solar cells. While challenges such as scalability, stability, and integration remain, ongoing research and development efforts are paving the way for the widespread adoption of 2D materials in commercial optoelectronics. In recent years, 2D perovskites have also emerged as a promising member of the 2D family due to their unique physical properties such as tunable bandgaps, unique quantum confinement, strong light absorption, and mechanical flexibility.

This collection aims to present recent and emerging strategies of 2D materials for future electronics with a particular focus on the progress of their scale-up production, monolithic 3D integration, and environmental stability. Authors are encouraged to submit original research papers for peer review by experts in chemistry, physics, materials science, and electric engineering. In addition, review articles by experts in these fields are welcome contributions to this Collection.
