Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to bring together articles on the application of various conducting polymers and electrochemically and chemically deposited polymeric structures (including nanostructures) that can be utilized for a number of technological applications, including anticorrosion coatings, coatings for electromagnetic shielding, solar cells, “smart windows”, electrochromic devices, organic electronics, bioelectronics, biomedical devices, sensors, and biosensors. Significant attention will be given to conducting polymers which improve charge transfer and are applied in the design of enzymatic biosensors and affinity sensors. Some conducting polymers can be used as redox mediators and even be involved in direct charge transfer from redox enzymes. Articles that discuss the application of conducting polymers combined with nanomaterials (gold-based nanomaterials, carbon-based nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, graphene, reduced graphene, nanodiamond, etc.) and semiconducting metal oxides (such as TiO2, ZnO, WO3, V2O5 and many others) are also welcome. Research addressing the development of immunosensors based on conducting polymers will be also accepted.

Nanostructured titanium compounds have recently been applied in the design of gas sensors. Among titanium compounds, titanium oxides (TiO2) are the most frequently used in gas sensing devices. Therefore, in this review, we are paying significant attention to the variety of allotropic modifications of titanium oxides, which include anatase, rutile, brukite. Very recently, the applicability of non-stoichiometric titanium oxide (TiO2−x)-based layers for the design of gas sensors was demonstrated. For this reason, in this review, we are addressing some research related to the formation of non-stoichiometric titanium oxide (TiO2−x) and Magnéli phase (TinO2n−1)-based layers suitable for sensor design. The most promising titanium compounds and hetero- and nano-structures based on these compounds are discussed. It is also outlined that during the past decade, many new strategies for the synthesis of TiO2 and conducting polymer-based composite materials were developed, which have found some specific application areas. Therefore, in this review, we are highlighting how specific formation methods, which can be used for the formation of TiO2 and conducting polymer composites, can be applied to tune composite characteristics that are leading towards advanced applications in these specific technological fields. The possibility to tune the sensitivity and selectivity of titanium compound-based sensing layers is addressed. In this review, some other recent reviews related to the development of sensors based on titanium oxides are overviewed. Some designs of titanium-based nanomaterials used for the development of sensors are outlined. Full article
