Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Low-dimensional materials (LDMs) are emerging materials in the development of next-generation biosensors with superior performance. LDMs, including zero-dimensional (0D) nanoparticles, one-dimensional (1D) nanowires/nanotubes, and two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets (e.g., 2D graphene, MoS2, and MXenes), have been widely employed as sensing components, as either sensing materials or transducers. This is due to their high surface-to-volume ratios and unique physical and chemical properties. In view of this rapidly growing field, it is our pleasure to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue focused on the recent advances, future perspectives, and challenges for the development of biosensors using LDMs.
The present Special Issue is devoted to all aspects of biosensors utilizing LDMs, including, but not limited to, the novel synthesis routes of LDMs for biosensing, the fabrication approaches of LDM-based devices, and the applications of nano-biosensors. For example, 0D Au nanoparticles and 2D MoS2 nanosheets have been used for the development of electrochemical and optical biosensors. One-dimensional Si nanowires, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and two-dimensional graphene-based field-effect transistors have been developed as biosensors, among other types of sensors. To date, a variety of transduction methods can be applied, including electrochemical, optical, and hybrid methods. A broad range of applications are of interest to this Special Issue, including proof-of-concept, point-of-care, flexible, implantable, and wearable devices.
This Special Issue, devoted to LDMs for biosensing, aims to focus on the most recent advances in the development of a variety of LDMs, devices, and application systems for biosensing and will be composed of research articles, communications, reviews, and perspective studies. We look forward to receiving your submissions.

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.
