Due to their unique chemical structures and a wide range of biological activities, plenty of nanomaterials based on organic, inorganic, and hybrid compounds have attracted the extensive attention of scientists and made a great contribution to the development of biosensors, diagnosis, and their applications over the past few decades. These kinds of nanomaterials can be utilized as immobilization platforms, optical probes, or (photo)electroactive labels to improve the performance of (bio)sensing devices with higher sensitivity, stability, and selectivity, which undoubtedly revolutionize the way that traditional health monitoring, food safety, environmental research, even emergency security protection are performed.
So far, various nanomaterial-based biosensing techniques in view of electrochemistry, chemiluminescence, electrochemiluminescence, electronics, and optics (absorbance, fluorescence, and surface plasmon resonance) have been developed. Nevertheless, fully satisfying the continued growing demand for biosensing with the advantage of high sensitivity, low cost, and convenient operation still meet a challenge, especially for the industry requirements with high-performance fabrication technology.
Accordingly, to catch up on the latest developments, the scope of this Research Topic includes but is not limited to:
1. Nanomaterial-based biosensors for the detection of chemicals and biological species;
2. Nanomaterial-based diagnosis for disease and health monitoring;
3. Nanomaterial-based biosensing devices for food safety and environmental analysis.
Original research articles, short communications, and reviews are all welcome.
