Special Issue on “Current Status and Challenges in Molecular Sensors Based on Nanotubes and Two-Dimensional Materials”

The influence of surface phenomena on the various physical properties of substances is most pronounced when their bodies are atomically thin. Consequently, one-dimensional (1D) materials such as carbon nanotubes and two-dimensional (2D) materials derived from the exfoliation of layered compounds such as graphite and transition metal dichalcogenides are regarded as promising platforms for detecting the adsorption of foreign molecules. This special issue highlights the current status and challenges of molecular sensors based on 1D nanotubes and 2D materials.
