Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past decade, a series of two-dimensional (2D)-layered materials have been successfully synthesized with several intriguing electrical, physical and chemical properties and used those for multifunctional sensory applications (such as optical sensors, chemical sensors, gas sensors, mechanical sensors, biological sensors etc.). Subsequenly, the nanoscale sensor based on 2D materials is rapidly gaining worldwide attention, aiming towards industrial-scale real-time device applications. Moreover, the extremely high surface area and existence of surface defects in 2D layers makes them promising and compatible for all-type sensor applications.
This Special Issue is focused on 2D materials-based nanoscale sensor devices (including optical, chemical, biological and mechanical sensors). Owing to the continuous progress in the synthesis and engineering of 2D materials, a varity of novel functionalities can be achievable either by creating heterostructures with various nanometerials or doping with foreign moleclues, which can offer extra degree of tunabilty and selectivity in sensor’s performances. Additionally, the surface functionalization is another route to tailor the devices’ properties and make them respond selectively towards a particular type of inputs with significantly higher sensitivity. Furthermore, the flexible and transparent nature of 2D materials makes them a strong contender for next-generation wearble bio-electronic devices. The Editorial Board of the journal Sensors and myself are very pleased to announce this Special Issue and are looking forward to your contribution.

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.
