Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Carbon nanodots, as a new type of carbon-based nanomaterial, have attracted broad research interest for years, because of their diverse physicochemical properties and favorable attributes like good biocompatibility, unique optical properties, low cost, Eco-friendliness, abundant functional groups (e.g., amino, hydroxyl, carboxyl), high stability, and electron mobility.
Carbon nanodots are fluorescent materials and possess unique characteristics such as biocompatibility, photo-stability, low toxicity and sustainability. Carbon nanodots have a huge impact on both health and environmental applications because of their potential to serve as nontoxic replacements for traditional heavy metal-based quantum dots. Carbon dots have been widely used as fluorescent probes for detecting various analytics in the environment or biological systems due to their intrinsic fluorescent properties, high sensitivity, quick response, low cost, and simple preparation methods. Because of their low toxicity, excellent biocompatibility, and photo-stability, carbon dots also provide promising probes for efficiently targeting and imaging cancer cells, and identifying and detecting bacteria by their nature or modified ligands. In this Special Issue, manuscripts on current advanced biotechnological research on carbon nanodots, carbon nanodots, graphene quantum dots and carbonized polymer dots will be considered for publication after peer reviewed process.

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.
