Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will study the integration of sustainable green nanomaterials into flexible wearable devices, focusing on their applications in Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) and electrochemical sensing. Green nanomaterials, such as those derived from environmentally friendly sources or synthesized using eco-friendly methods, offer a promising pathway for enhancing the performances and sustainability of wearable technologies. The significance of these materials is emphasized by their use for creating lightweight, flexible, and biocompatible devices that can be worn comfortably for health monitoring, environmental sensing, and diagnostics. SERS applications benefit from green nanomaterials' enhanced sensitivity and selectivity, enabling the precise detection of biomolecules and pollutants at trace levels. Similarly, in electrochemical applications, these materials improve the efficiency and durability of sensors, making them suitable for continuous, real-time monitoring. This Special Issue also discusses the challenges associated with the fabrication and scalability of these materials, and it highlights recent advancements in overcoming these obstacles. By combining sustainability with cutting-edge nanotechnology, this work will pave the way for next-generation wearable devices that are not only high-performing but also sustainable.

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 2200 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.
