Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The advent of two-dimensional (2D) materials has produced wearable sensors which are far more conformal and flexible. These 2D materials show remarkable optoelectronic properties and have been found to be steady in terms of their biological condition. Moreover, they possess high sensitivity, fast response, long-term stability, and biocompatibility. Therefore, next-generation wearable sensor technologies are expected to be based on 2D materials. Intensive efforts have been made to advance this wearable sensing technology. However, despite extensive research and significant initial success, there remains a huge demand to use advanced techniques in order to derive greater amounts of information from the body. In order to address the technological gap between the outstanding properties of 2D materials and the performance of wearable sensors, we have launched this Special Issue of Sensors.
This Special Issue therefore aims to put together original research and review articles on recent advances in the new physics and chemistry of 2D materials, 2D nano-electronics the levels of material and device, and their application in wearable sensors.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- 2D nanomaterials;
- New advances in fundamental properties of 2D materials and its derivatives;
- Graphene-based nanomaterials;
- Multifunctional properties of 2D materials;
- 2D perovskites for sensors;
- Chiral 2D biomolecules for biosensors.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
