Publisher Springer Nature has announced npj 2D Materials and Applications, a new open access journal to be published in partnership with the Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia da Universidade Nova de Lisboa (FCT Nova) and supported by the European Materials Research Society (E-MRS).
With the new journal, all parties aim to create a top-tier interdisciplinary platform for scientists to share and promote 2D materials research and applications. The announcement of the new journal and partnership has been timed to coincide with the 2016 E-MRS Spring Meeting and Exhibit, being held in Lille, France from May 2nd to 6th.
In terms of policy making and impact, the journal responds to the pressing requirements of translating robust research based on this new class of materials into systems and devices that deliver sustainable solution for a wide range of applications.
npj 2D Materials and Applications will publish original papers, review articles and short communications to reflect the latest breakthrough and developments taking place in all aspects of 2D materials, including allotropes (different structures of the same element) and compounds, ultralight composite materials, their properties (including mechanical properties), and their isolation, synthesis and manufacturing. The journal will also publish research relating to the use of 2D materials in applications such as photovoltaics, optoelectronics and photonics, semiconductors, sensors, electrodes, water purification/filtration/distillation, and energy storage.
npj 2D Materials and Applications is expected to be open for submissions following the announcement of the editorial team.
