Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electrochemical sensors are increasingly used in health, water, and environmental monitoring because they can offer rapid, real-time detection through the transduction of physical, chemical, or biological parameters to quantifiable electrical signals. The signal transduction and the sensing performance of electrochemical sensors are often controlled by the sensing surface materials, the analyte types, and the sensing environments. Nanometer-scale materials such as zero-, one-, and two-dimensional nanomaterials possess unique physical and chemical properties, including high surface-to-volume ratio and high catalytic sites. Nanomaterials’ functionalization is challenging to tailor the sensors’ functions including the immobilization of analytes, the catalysis of electrochemical reactions, and the enhancement of electron transfer between the analytes and the sensor surfaces.
This Special Issue aims to collect research articles addressing challenges in the specificity, sensitivity, selectivity, stability, and response time of nanomaterials-based electrochemical sensors for health, water, and environmental monitoring applications.

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.
