Graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), as typical two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials, have impressed the research community owing to their unique structural features, fascinating physiochemical properties, and promising applications in diverse fields. More significantly, the success of graphene and TMDs has inspired researchers to explore many other 2D nanomaterials. Though possessing a similar sheet-like structure as graphene and TMDs, these 2D nanomaterials can own strikingly different properties, rendering them attractive in various research and application fields. The past years have witnessed the blossom and tremendous progress in studies of novel 2D nanomaterials beyond graphene and TMDs. In view of this, it is time to provide a themed issue, with a compilation of excellent review articles, covering a wide range of 2D nanomaterials. In recognition of the leading role played by graphene and TMDs which has been well summarized in many review articles or themed issues, this themed issue is entitled 2D nanomaterials: beyond graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides.
