Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to our Special Issue titled “Nanomaterials for Bioelectronics and Energy Harvesting”. This rapidly evolving field is critical for developing innovative solutions in healthcare and sustainable energy. Nanomaterials possess unique properties that enhance device performance, making them essential for advancing bioelectronics and energy harvesting technologies.

This Special Issue aims to compile cutting-edge research on the synthesis, characterization, and application of nanomaterials in these domains. It focuses on novel materials that drive technological advancements.

We encourage submissions exploring various themes, including nanomaterial synthesis for bioelectronics, energy harvesting applications, device optimization, and sustainability considerations. We welcome original research articles, reviews, and short communications that contribute to this vital area of study.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2400 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.

Simple and accurate analysis of cancer-related biomarkers is very important for disease screening and auxiliary diagnosis. This study proposed a facile immunoassay that used gold nanostar-labeled rabbit anti-AFP as a capture antibody and gold nanoparticle-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG as an enhance antibody for the construction of a detection strategy for AFP analysis. Investigations indicated that the 50 nm diameter GNS-labeled capture antibody can specifically catch AFPs by direct detection profile or by further signal amplification through AuNP-tagged enhance antibody combination. Results showed that the developed method holds 8.6 ng/mL sensitivity, 20.0–110.0 ng/mL detection range, acceptable precision and fine accuracy, as well as favorable specificity. Results of application to real serum determination by the proposed method are highly related to those of the ECLIA method (correlation coefficient is 0.931). The proposed method has simple-operation merit and is very suitable for clinical screening of large-scale serum samples of cancers. Full article
