Advanced Nanozymes and Sensing Technologies for Biochemical Analysis

Dear Colleagues,

Enzyme-based biosensors have attracted the attention of the scientific community for their distinct advantages, such as increased sensitivity and specificity, as well as their faster response time when compared to most traditional analytical methods. However, they also face inevitable problems, such as relatively high cost and lack of stability, which severely limit their practical applicability. Recently, a class of nanomaterials with intrinsic enzyme-like properties, nanozymes, have emerged with significant benefits over their natural counterpart and have been exploited as a viable enzyme alternative for biosensing. In recent years, many nanozymes and nanozyme-based sensing technologies have been developed for biosensing. In this Special Issue, we solicit reviews, original research papers, and short communications covering the topic of Advanced Nanozymes and Sensing Technologies for Biochemical Analysis. Papers focused on the development of novel nanozymes or nanozyme-based sensing technologies for biochemical analysis are welcomed.

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-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.
