Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Micro/nano materials, innovative substances at the micrometer or nanometer scale, are revolutionizing sensor technology with their unique physical and chemical properties. Their high specific surface area and surface activity make them ideal for creating high-sensitivity sensors. These materials are extremely sensitive to environmental changes, capturing even minute fluctuations in temperature, gas concentration, and other physical or chemical parameters.
Surface modification technology further enhances their selective recognition capabilities, enabling the accurate detection of target substances in complex environments. This efficiency and sensitivity make micro/nano materials stand out in fields such as environmental monitoring and industrial safety.
In marine applications, micro/nano sensors provide real-time water quality and ecological data, supporting marine conservation. Their high sensitivity and low cost enable the rapid on-site detection of marine biotoxins, safeguarding food safety and aquaculture.
Looking ahead, micro/nano sensors will continue to evolve, offering higher precision, lower power consumption, and smaller sizes, poised to transform fields such as environmental monitoring, healthcare, and marine resource development.

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 2400 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.
