Recent Developments in Electrode Materials for Electrochemical Sensing

Dear Colleagues,

Electrochemical sensors play a vital role in the rapid, sensitive, and portable detection of chemical and biological species across fields such as environmental monitoring, biomedical diagnostics, and industrial safety. Their performance is fundamentally governed by the electrode materials at their core, whose composition, structure, and surface characteristics dictate key analytical metrics including sensitivity, selectivity, stability, and reproducibility. Nevertheless, the translation from controlled laboratory environments to real-world applications poses significant challenges. These include, for example, trace analyte detection in complex environmental matrices, biomarker monitoring in biological fluids, and reliable operation in resource-limited or harsh industrial settings, all of which are susceptible to matrix interference, material degradation under operating extremes, and limited device-to-device reproducibility.

This Special Issue of Chemosensors, entitled "Recent Developments in Electrode Materials for Electrochemical Sensing," aims to showcase cutting-edge progress in the design, fabrication, and application of novel electrode materials. We welcome contributions addressing innovative synthesis approaches, surface and structural engineering, performance optimization strategies, and the system-level integration of advanced electrode materials into practical electrochemical sensors suited for demanding real-world and point-of-care 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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Chemosensors 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 2000 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.
