Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The fields of nanoelectronics and nanosensors that interact with human beings are beginning to function at the cellular or even molecular level, with improved sensitivity, safety, non-invasiveness, response times, and precision for spatiotemporal measurement. Recent advancements in nanomaterials (e.g., graphene, MXenes), nanofabrication (e.g., focused ion beams, e-beam lithography), or bio-elements (DNA, RNA, exosomes) have undoubtably boosted the performances of electronic devices and sensors.

This Special Issue calls for papers on new mechanisms, new materials, new micro/nanofabrication process, new devices, and new applications in electronic devices and sensors at the nanoscale. All original research or review articles are welcome on the fundamentals, fabrication, and applications of micro/nanoscale electronics and sensors. Potential topics include (but are not limited to):

  • Micro/nano biosensing;
  • Micro and nanofabrication;
  • Lab on a chip;
  • Nanomaterials for biosensors;
  • Nanosensors for cells, viruses, and bacteria;
  • Flexible and wearable electronics;
  • Novel materials, e.g., graphene, MXenes, metamaterials for electronics and sensing;
  • DNAs, RNA, exosomes for bioelectronics and biosensing.

Electrospun nanofibers have become the most promising building blocks for future high-performance electronic devices because of the advantages of larger specific surface area, higher porosity, more flexibility, and stronger mechanical strength over conventional film-based materials. Moreover, along with the properties of ease of fabrication and cost-effectiveness, a broad range of applications based on nanomaterials by electrospinning have sprung up. In this review, we aim to summarize basic principles, influence factors, and advanced methods of electrospinning to produce hundreds of nanofibers with different structures and arrangements. In addition, electrospun nanofiber based electronics composed of both two-terminal and three-terminal devices and their practical applications are discussed in the fields of sensing, storage, and computing, which give rise to the further integration to realize a comprehensive and brain-like system. Last but not least, the emulation of biological synapses through artificial synaptic transistors and additionally optoelectronics in recent years are included as an important step toward the construction of large-scale, multifunctional systems.
