2D Materials and their Applications – Call for Papers

30 May 2023

By Namita Datta, Assistant Editor.

RSC Advances is delighted to announce a new themed collection on 2D materials and their applications. This collection is Guest Edited by Associate Professor Andreas Rosenkranz, University of Chile, Associate Professor Massimiliano Papi, Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, Associate Professor Agnieszka Jastrzębska, Warsaw University of Technology, and Associate Professor Diana Berman, University of North Texas.

Scope

During the last decade, 2D materials have gained tremendous attention in the scientific community due to their structural and physiochemical properties, which make them applicable in various fields of fundamental and applied research. Inspired and boosted by the performance of graphene and its derivates as well as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), with their most prominent members being MoS₂ and WS₂, significant progress has been made towards the development of new 2D nanomaterials.

In this regard, advanced synthesis routes, as well as an in-depth understanding of the structure-property-performance relationship, are currently being explored for silicenes, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), 2D black phosphorus, halide structures, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent-organic frameworks (COFs), MXenes and MBenes. Their high surface-to-volume ratios coupled with controllable electrical and thermal conductivity, and excellent mechanical properties have made 2D nanomaterials particularly interesting for energy storage/harvesting and supercapacitors, (photo)-catalysis, water purification/desalination, wearable electronics, biomedicine, tribology, and much more.

This multidisciplinary themed collection provides the opportunity to share latest findings related to applied research involving 2D materials with the research community.

Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

New synthesis approaches for 2D materials,
Chemical functionalization of 2D materials,
Fabrication of nanocomposites and their functionalization,
Advanced, high-resolution materials characterization (chemical and structural),
Unique physical and chemical properties of 2D materials,
Experimental and computational studies related to the use of 2D materials in energy storage/harvesting, (photo)-catalysis, water purification/desalination, wearable electronics, tribology, among others,
Biomedical applications of 2D materials such as drug delivery, gene therapy, regenerative medicine, oncology, and
Innovative biosensors based on the 2D materials physical/chemical features.

We welcome your submission to the series.

Submission deadline: 31^st October 2023

How to submit

Both papers and review articles will be considered for this themed collection. All submissions will be subject to an initial assessment by Associate Editors and, if suitable for the journal, they will be subject to rigorous peer review to meet the usual high standards of RSC Advances.

We are proud to be an affordable gold open access journal. Submissions to RSC Advances will be published open access and the appropriate article processing charge (APC) will apply. RSC Advances’ article processing charge (APC) is among the lowest in chemistry and waivers are also available for authors who meet the eligibility criteria outlined here.

If you would like to submit to this themed collection the manuscript should be prepared according to our article guidelines and submitted via our online system any time before the submission deadline of 31 10 2023. During submission, authors will be asked if they are submitting for a themed collection and should include the name of the themed collection. If you would like to submit but require additional time to prepare your article, please do let us know by contacting the journal.

RSC Advances Editors Collection: Greener synthetic approaches towards quinoline derivatives

23 May 2023

By Kate Jones, Assistant Editor.

RSC Advances are delighted to share our latest collection on Greener synthetic approaches towards quinoline derivatives, guest edited by Associate Editor Prof. Manojit Pal (Dr Reddy’s Institute of Life Sciences, India).

About the Collection

Quinoline, being a versatile and privileged framework in pharmaceutical sciences, drug discovery and development is part of building blocks for several marketed antimalarial drugs. Quinolines also display antimicrobial, analgesic, cardiovascular, anticancer and anti-inflammatory activities and are widespread in nature especially in alkaloids. It is therefore not surprising that over the years quinolines have attracted continued interest in the area of organic synthesis.

While enormous efforts have been devoted for the development of elegant synthetic routes to various quinoline derivatives several of them are not eco-friendly in nature. On the other hand, the green or environmentally friendly synthetic approaches are in great demand in organic synthesis because they decrease or eliminate the usage or formation of harmful substances thereby preventing the environmental pollution considerably. Thus, development of greener or eco-friendly approaches for useful compounds or agents including quinolines is an important goal. The current web collection is mainly a compilation of relevant important and interesting research papers (but no review articles) already published in RSC Advances during last 7 years.

The major focus of this compilation was on selection of the greener or environmentally friendly synthetic methods including single or multi-step approaches, multi-component reactions, catalysed reactions including C-H activation, metal-free methods, microwave or ultrasound-assisted reactions etc reported for quinoline derivatives. Papers describing the eco-friendly synthesis along with biological evaluation of quinoline derivatives are also included. RSC Advances now welcome research papers on new and latest developments in the area of eco-friendly synthesis of quinolines for further inclusion in the web collection.

We hope you enjoy reading these articles!

Featured articles:

Ultrasound assisted synthesis of hybrid quinoline-imidazole derivatives: a green synthetic approach

Gheorghita Zbancioc, Ionel I. Mangalagiu et al.

RSC Adv., 2021,11, 38297-38301, DOI: 10.1039/D1RA07484A
