Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of the journals Sensors entitled “The Applications of Nanomaterials-Based Sensors” will cover a selection of recent research and review articles in the field of nanomaterials-based sensors for several applications.
Nanomaterials offer great opportunities to develop nanomaterials-based sensors or devices for monitoring several compounds of interest in different applications, such as health, medicine, food, agriculture and crop production, energy and environment applications (in air, water and/or soil), and industry, among others.
Various nanomaterials, such as carbon nanotubes, gold nanoparticles, silicon nanowires, silica materials, and quantum dots, have been extensively explored in detecting and measuring disease biomarkers, cytotoxic, pathogens, crop diseases and growth, nutrient efficiency, toxins, toxic metal ions, toxic gases, pesticides and herbicides, hazardous industrial chemicals, and others, with high sensitivity, selectivity, and simplicity.
The use of materials at the nanodimension scale provides several improvements in terms of analytical features including sensitivity, rapidity of response, selectivity, and robustness, demonstrating the huge advantage of using nanomaterials over micromaterials in the development of smart and high-performant analytical tools.
Research on the design and development of new nanomaterials-based sensors and applications will bring together stakeholders from different disciplines. The reader of this Special Issue will gain an appreciation of the real role of nanomaterials-based sensors and applications.
Dr. Andrea Bernardos
Guest Editor
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.
