Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent developments in low-dimensional structures, such as nanowire, nanodots, and nanofilms in varieties of material systems covering 2D materials, oxides, and metals, have stimulated exciting research possibilities and applications in biosensors, biophotonics, and bioelectronics. For example, nanowire material provides a large surface-to-volume ratio with enough chemical detection reactions at ultra-low concentrations, useful in an electronic biosensor. Low-dimensional metal structures also induce a plasmonic effect for optical detection of biochemical materials. I am pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue focused on recent advances, future perspectives, and challenges in bio-detection enabled by low-dimensional materials.
The present Special Issue covers all aspects of biosensors, biophotonics, and bioelectronics that utilize low-dimensional materials. The contributed articles include but are not limited to detecting volatile organic compounds, chemicals, neurobiological, glucose, sweat, bacteria, and viruses. Fundamental studies of sensing mechanisms, engineering of biochemical sensing systems, and the rational design of material systems for biochemical sensing are also welcome. Studies on the biochemical sensing utilizing materials include 2D materials, such as graphene, MoS2, MoSe2, metal oxides, such as zinc oxides, nickel oxide, copper oxide, and varieties of metals and metal/dielectric combinations.
This Special Issue devoted to low-dimensional materials will focus on the most recent advances in the development of electrical and optical devices and systems for biochemical and neurobiological sensing and will be composed of research articles, communications, reviews, and perspectives.

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.
