Two-Dimensional Materials-Based Thin Films and Coatings
Source abstract
Abstract
Here, we highlight the research presented in this Special Issue, focusing on the innovative use of graphene and other two-dimensional (2D) materials to develop advanced coating technologies. The contributions herein address critical challenges such as the scalable fabrication and stable dispersion of such materials and their compatibility with conventional coating systems, offering solutions that enhance their mechanical strength, chemical stability, and multifunctionality. The featured studies demonstrate the diverse applications of these materials, from protective anticorrosive barriers to high-performance optoelectronic devices and environmental remediation. Moving forward, future research is encouraged to explore novel 2D materials, hybrid coating strategies, and advanced computational modeling to overcome existing limitations and unlock new possibilities.
