Functional Nanomaterials for Advanced Sensing Technologies

Dear Colleagues,

Functional nanomaterials are playing an increasingly important role in the development of advanced sensing technologies for chemical, physical, biological, optical, and wearable applications. Recent progress in nanostructured metal oxides, carbon-based nanomaterials, two-dimensional materials, polymers, composites, and hybrid thin films has provided new opportunities for improving sensitivity, selectivity, stability, miniaturization, and real-time monitoring performance. In parallel, scalable fabrication routes—including laser-assisted processing, thin-film deposition, printing, surface functionalization, and micro/nanostructuring—are enabling the integration of these materials into next-generation sensing platforms.

This Topic welcomes original research articles, communications, and review papers addressing the design, synthesis, processing, characterization, and application of functional nanomaterials for advanced sensing technologies. Contributions related to gas sensors, biosensors, optical sensors, electrochemical sensors, flexible devices, smart diagnostics, and data-enabled sensing systems are particularly encouraged.
