Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanomaterial-based biosensors have emerged as powerful analytical tools thanks to the integration of nanotechnology into biosensing platforms. The use of nanomaterials, including metal and metal oxide nanoparticles, carbon nanostructures, quantum dots, and nanocomposites, has greatly enhanced the sensitivity, selectivity, and stability of biosensors. These nanostructures offer a large surface area, enhanced conductivity, and tunable physicochemical properties that facilitate the efficient immobilization of biomolecules and promote signal amplification, making them highly suitable for a wide range of analytical applications.
This Special Issue, “Nanomaterial-Based Biosensors: From Design to Analytical Applications,” aims to gather recent advances in the synthesis and functionalization of nanomaterials, the design of nanostructured sensing interfaces, and their implementation in analytical devices. Particular attention will be given to electrochemical biosensors, where nanomaterials play a key role in enhancing electron transfer and detection performance. Both original research articles and comprehensive reviews are welcome.
This collection aims to offer an updated perspective on how nanostructured materials and nanoscale interfaces are influencing the development of the next generation of analytical biosensors, thereby contributing to more sensitive, reliable, and sustainable detection systems across biomedical, environmental, and industrial 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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized 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.
