Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the recent times, we have witnessed rapid progress in the field of sensors and diagnostics through the advent of new materials entering the foray. Materials such as MXenes, Graphene, CNTs, and other 2D semiconducting materials have given multiple breakthroughs in-terms of sensitivity, selectivity and limit of detection.
This special issue focusses on the use of various nanomaterials for sensing applications. Topics can include but not limited to 2D materials, quantum sensing, pollutant monitoring, effluent treatment monitoring, industrial waste monitoring, microbial detection and biomolecules detection. The evolution of characterization techniques into far more precise methodologies have rendered the exploration of the unforeseen properties of these new class of materials. Nanocomposites and complexes have also been vigorously looked in for potential applications relevant to the sensor technologies.
As Sensors journal focusses on such rapidly evolving field at the interface of surface science, materials science, diagnostics and environmental monitoring, this special issue has the potential to showcase researchers who are developing sensor technology.

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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
