Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electroanalytical techniques are advantageous for the detection of explosives because the instrumentation is simple and can support a wide variety of assays which can be easily implemented for field work. This is especially true for nitrogen based explosives including nitroaromatics, nitramines and nitrate esters, however, further development for the detection of explosives associated with improvised devices and their manufacturing facilities is still needed.
This Special Issue will focus on modified electrodes (graphene, screen printed, novel composites) and new electrocatalysts for the detection of homemade explosives (HME) with an emphasis on miniaturized sensors for field deployment and using machine learning for identification.

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.
