Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electrochemical biosensors, a subclass of chemical sensors, combine the sensitivity of electrochemical transducers, as indicated by their low detection limits, with the high specificity of biological recognition processes. The field of electrochemical biosensors is attractive and expanding rapidly because of their ability to deliver fast, precise, sensitive, and selective analysis with an easy-to-use device. Undoubtedly, their performance is mainly determined by the sensing materials used, the sensor design, and miniaturization. Recent developments in material science and nanotechnology have enabled improved electrochemical performance via the functionalization of electrode surfaces with advanced nanomaterials. Functional nanomaterials (especially reduced graphene oxide (rGO), MoS2, laser-induced graphene (LIG), and MXene) have combined superiorities, such as a large active surface area, lightweight, inherent electrochemistry, excellent electrical conductivity, high chemical and thermal stability, ease of chemical functionalization, and mass production potential, making them promising candidate materials for electrochemical biosensors. Therefore, this Special Issue, " Functional Nanomaterial-Based Electrochemical Biosensor ", focuses on the controlled fabrication of functional nanomaterials with rationally designed micro/nanostructures and strategies for integrating them into desired substrates for application in next-generation electrochemical biosensors.
We welcome research submissions that contribute to the development of electrochemical biosensors and their applications for the analysis of biomarkers with attractive features such as long-term validity, stability, high sensitivity, and a low limit of detection (LOD).

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. Biosensors is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
