Advances in Inorganic Functional Nanomaterials-Based Flexible Electrochemical Biosensors

Dear Colleagues,

Wearable, flexible, electrochemical sensors are capable of continuously tracking the human body’s physiological signals, having displayed great potential in personalized medical testing. Their requirements should include the ability to maintain excellent analytical performance while repeatedly experiencing deformation and stretching. Inorganic functional nanomaterials can typically convert other signals into electrical ones, which are then quantitatively collected through back-end circuits. At present, the main inorganic nanomaterials used for the construction of flexible electrochemical devices include carbon, metal and hybrid nanomaterials. The fabrication method of the nanomaterial-based flexible electrochemical sensors includes inkjet printing, wet/dry spinning, laser printing, e-beam evaporation, etc. Flexible electrochemical sensor applications in wearable fields for the real-time monitoring of human health mainly include physiological signal monitoring, the detection of disease-related biomolecules from sweat, saliva, tears and urine, monitoring the release of biomolecules from mechanically stretched cells or organisms, etc. Therefore, this Special Issue “Advances in Inorganic Functional Nanomaterial-Based Flexible Electrochemical Biosensors” focuses on recent advances in the fabrication of inorganic functional nanomaterial-based flexible electrochemical sensors, as well as their applications in wearable fields and living cell electrochemical signal monitoring. We invite the submission of research works that could help to advance the field of inorganic functional nanomaterial-based flexible electrochemical sensors.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Biosensors is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
