Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Following the success of the first edition, we are pleased to announce the second edition of the Special Issue “Functional Nanomaterials for Sensor Applications”. Functional nanomaterials are emerging as cogs enabling advanced research in many fields, including nanosized energy generation and conversion, environmental sustainability, catalysts, electronic devices, pervasive sensors, biomedical engineering, and more. This genuine interest is undoubtedly fueled by their unique structure and properties, paired with massive potential for integration into industrial applications.
The scope of this Issue spans from the basic technologies involved in the synthesis and design of functional nanomaterials to their fabrication, properties, and application in the field of sensors. The Special Issue is open to both academic and industrial contributions focused on functional materials with electrical, thermal, magnetic, chemical, or electrochemical properties allowing the high-performance transduction of specific magnitudes or markers. Different synthesis procedures, characterization techniques, and applications for these functional nanomaterials will be covered, and novel insights can be proposed.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Synthesis of functional nanomaterials;
- Techniques for the massive and industrialized fabrication of nanomaterials;
- Integration of nanomaterials in sensors: novel structures, stacking of layers, flexible layers, etc.;
- Organic/inorganic functional nanocomposites;
- Functionalization of nanomaterials for measuring target magnitudes;
- Chemi-resistive and chemi-capacitive functional sensors;
- Photocatalysis;
- Energy harvesting;
- Energy storage/conversion nanomaterials for power-supplying sensor nodes;
- Electronic devices including nanomaterial-based sensors;
- Demonstrators of potential applications and prototypes of instruments (portable, wearable, or lab instruments) using functional-nanomaterials-based transducers;
- Functional nanomaterials for health systems (clinical, ambulatory, etc.);
- New characterization techniques for functional nanomaterials;
- Theoretical studies and modelling.
It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript to the new edition of this Special Issue, which provides an excellent opportunity for publishing your latest advances in the relevant research fields. Submissions of communications, full papers, and reviews are all welcomed. We look forward to your contributions and fruitful discussions.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2900 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.
