Recent Advances in Graphene-Based Biosensors and Chemical Sensors

Dear Colleagues,

As a typical representative of two-dimensional materials, graphene, which uses a benzene ring as its basic structural unit, has become the hotspot of the sensor research field because of its unique physical and chemical properties. Through doping and compounding, graphene-based materials often have advantages that other nanomaterials do not have, with unique advantages in signal recognition, health detection, targeted tracking, pH monitoring, gas analysis, and so on. Graphene-based materials can also be used as flexible substrates for biosensors and chemical sensors. Graphene-based fibrous, membrane, and foam-like elastic devices can be prepared to work directly. Therefore, graphene-based materials endow the biosensing and chemical sensing applications with rational building blocks to promote innovative analytical devices. It is believed that graphene-based biosensors and chemical sensors will be widely used in practical applications due to advanced technologies and interdisciplinary improvements, leading to important assistance for human production and life.

This Special Issue will focus on state-of-the-art approaches and findings that relate to the design, fabrication, performance, and corresponding theory of graphene-based biosensing and chemical sensing. In addition, some reviews that summarize the previous progress and propose the perspective of the graphene-based biosensing and chemical sensing will be selected for the correlative readers. The reviews and research articles are expected to be useful and helpful for the evaluation of the top-class scientific results of graphene-based biosensing and chemical sensing, aiming at providing systematic insights and enlightening novel viewpoints in specific fields.

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.
