Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Two-dimensional (2D) materials are an emerging class of ultrathin nanomaterials with remarkable physicochemical properties. Their unique features, such as an extremely high surface-to-volume ratio, tunable electronic and optical properties, and versatile chemical functionality, make them highly attractive for sensing and biosensing applications. Various types of 2D materials have garnered significant attention, including graphene and its derivatives, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), layered double hydroxides, boron nitride, MXenes, and transition metal oxides. These materials exhibit exceptional electrical conductivity, chemical stability, and mechanical flexibility, making them promising candidates for the next generation of sensor technologies.
This Special Issue aims to bring together original research and review articles focused on the development of 2D-based materials for advanced sensing applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Synthesis, functionalization, and structural modification of 2D materials for sensor and biosensor applications.
- Characterization techniques for assessing surface chemistry, electronic properties, and interfacial interactions.
- Integration of 2D materials into flexible, stretchable, and wearable sensors.
- Novel approaches for enhancing sensor performance, including increased sensitivity, improved selectivity, and long-term stability.
- Theoretical and experimental studies on the interaction of 2D materials with analytes at the nanoscale level.
By tailoring the structural properties and surface chemistry of 2D materials, researchers can develop highly efficient sensing platforms for biomedical, environmental, and industrial applications. We welcome contributions that advance the fundamental understanding and practical implementation of 2D materials in cutting-edge sensing technologies.

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.
