Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, inorganic nanostructure-based sensors have demonstrated vast application prospects in multiple fields due to their unique performance and design. These sensors are capable of achieving high sensitivity and selectivity in the detection of various chemical and biological molecules. Whether it be in environmental monitoring, food safety, medical diagnosis, or biological scientific research, inorganic nanostructure-based sensors have demonstrated tremendous potential.
Therefore, this Special Issue aims to focus on the design and applications of inorganic nanostructure-based sensors, compiling the latest research achievements, innovative designs, and practical application cases in this field. We hope that through this platform, we can promote the further development of inorganic nanostructure sensor technology and provide stronger support for scientific research and practical applications.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following: the principles and mechanisms underlying inorganic nanostructure sensor design; innovative materials and fabrication techniques for inorganic nanostructures; optimization of sensor performance through structural modifications; applications of inorganic nanostructure-based sensors in environmental monitoring; food safety control, medical diagnosis, and biochemical research; and the integration of inorganic nanostructure-based sensors with other technologies for enhanced functionality and performance.
We welcome contributions that explore both theoretical and experimental aspects of inorganic nanostructure-based sensors, providing insights into their design principles, performance characteristics, and potential 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.
