Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The first decade of the 21st century has been labeled as “the sensing decade”. Among the various sensing types, biosensing is currently one of the hottest topics in bioanalysis. Nowadays, biosensors have become a valuable tool in a number of applications, encompassing the monitoring of treatment and progression of diseases, environmental monitoring, food safety concern, drug development, forensics, and biomedical research. Among them, biosensors based on electrochemical catalysis, biofuels, and functional nanomaterials constitute a pivotal component and have garnered escalating attention. For instance, electrochemical catalysis-based biosensors play a significant role in point-of-care testing diagnostics because they are rapid, cost-effective, suitable for miniaturization, intelligent, and capable of working in real time. Biofuel cells have been applied as the basic component for constructing self-powered electrochemical biosensors, while the unique properties of nanomaterials offer excellent platforms for electronic and optical signal transduction, allowing us to design a new generation of biosensing devices.
Hence, this Special Issue, “Biosensors Based on Electrochemical Catalysis, Biofuels, or Functional Nanomaterials”, focuses on the recent advances in biosensors, including sensitivity amplification strategies, point-of-care diagnostics, nanotechnology, and their applications in the detection and discovery of markers. We welcome submissions of research that contributes to the advancement of the field regarding electrochemical catalysis, biofuels, and functional nanomaterials, as well as their diverse applications.

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.
