The Application of Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) Platform

Dear Colleagues,

Surafce-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has been developed as a rapid spectral detection technology, which has the characteristics of high sensitivity, high accuracy, fingerprint spectrum and no interference from water molecules. With the rapid development of laser technology and the growing maturity of nano material preparation technology, SERS has been widely applied in the molecular adsorption on single crystal surface, chemical reaction mechanism, cell behavior in organism, food safety, environmental pollution, chemical weapons and artwork identification. Therefore, the topics covered in this Special Issue will involve the recent innovations in SERS platform for use in sensors, food safety and environmental applications. New detection strategy, algorithm research, SERS device and multi technology combination, as well as the synthesis and characterization of new nanomaterials for SERS sensor will be also covered in this Special Issue. Both review and original research are welcomed from the latest developments and future challenges in this exciting field of SERS detection.

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.
