Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Two-dimensional (2D) materials, such as graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), MXenes, and phosphorene, have revolutionized the field of sensing technologies due to their exceptional physicochemical properties. 2D organic frameworks, such as covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOF) also find their potential in advanced sensing applications. Their predictable structures, high specific surface area, tunable electronic properties, and flexibility make them ideal candidates for next-generation sensing devices. This Special Issue aims to showcase cutting-edge research and innovations in the design, synthesis, characterization, and application of 2D materials for sensors. Topics will span fundamental studies, novel fabrication techniques, and real-world applications in environmental monitoring, healthcare, industrial safety, intelligent sensory and beyond.
We welcome both original research papers and review articles that showcase the significant developments in these fields. Potential areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- 2D material synthesis and functionalization for sensor applications
- Gas, chemical, and biosensors based on 2D materials (e.g., graphene, MoS₂, BN, MXenes, COFs, MOFs)
- Optical, electronic, and mechanical sensing mechanisms using 2D nanostructures
- Hybrid/composite systems integrating 2D materials with polymers, nanoparticles, or other nanomaterials
- Advanced characterization techniques for 2D material-based sensors

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.
