About this collection

We are delighted to present our Chemical Society Reviews themed issue on 2D nanomaterials: beyond graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides. This issue is guest edited by Hua Zhang (Nanyang Technological University), Peide Ye (Purdue University) and Hui-Ming Cheng (Institute of Metal Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences). Graphene and transition metal dichalcogenide nanosheets, as typical two-dimensional layered nanomaterials, have been widely investigated due to their fascinating properties and potential use for clean energy, catalysis, chemical and bio-sensing, and (opto-)electronic devices. This has led to wider interest in other 2D nanonmaterials, including silicene, germanene, MXenes, h-BN, metal-organic frameworks and covalent organic frameworks (COFs). This special collection focuses on recent advances and challenges in the preparation of other 2D nanomaterials beyond graphene and TMD nanosheets and their various applications.
