Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent decades, much attention has been focused on the synthesis and application of nanomaterials, especially in the detection of various molecules to improve our health and safety. Suitable and highly sophisticated synthesis methods, such as top-down and bottom-up approaches, have allowed researchers to obtain nanomaterials with tunable characteristics, such as size, shape, and electrical and thermal properties. The same concept has been employed to fabricate hybrid nanodevices based on various nanomaterials with different properties.
The results obtained in this field have given rise to a class of novel devices with great potential for detecting various molecules, including bio-based and environmental ones.
This Special Issue seeks to outline the recent innovations and state of the art in the design, synthesis, and characterization of nanomaterial-based systems for the detection of bio-based and environmental molecules.

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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
