Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanomaterials, such as inorganic derivatives (e.g., noble metals, metal oxides, etc.), organic derivatives (e.g., complexing agents, polymers, etc.), hybrid nanostructures, and carbon nanomaterials (e.g., CNTs, GQDs, CDs, etc.), have gained great importance due to their outstanding electrochemical, optical, and structural properties and their use in many application fields, in particular in sensor development. Nanomaterials can be synthesized by various methods, and thus, depending on the initial compounds used and the preparation/synthesis protocol, nanomaterials with different sensing properties can be obtained. In this Special Issue, we would like to encourage the submission of original articles and reviews covering all aspects of nanomaterial-based biosensor development, enabling readers to learn more about this field of research. Therefore, we welcome high-quality articles reporting on the development of biosensors from nanomaterials, including recent advances in synthesis, characterization, property studies, testing, validation, and applications.

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.
