Application of Luminescent Materials for Sensing, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Owing to the merits of simple manipulation, high sensitivity, selectivity, and real-time functionality, luminescent material sensing technology has been widely applied in fields of biosensing, clinical diagnosis, food safety, and environmental pollution monitoring. Previous reports have proved that luminescent material-based sensing technology provides quantitative, multi-component analysis, with high sensitivity and high specificity (i.e., more accurate), in addition to being convenient, rapid, and economical. The current research regarding luminescent material-based sensing technology mainly includes, but is not limited to, quantum dots; carbon-based luminescent materials; MOF; AIE; small-molecule fluorophores; and upconversion nanoparticles applied to fluorescence, electrochemiluminescence, and photoelectrochemical sensing.

This research topic aims to become a point of reference for the latest advances in luminescent material-based sensing technology. We aim to collect research concerning advances in the areas mentioned above.

We welcome original research articles, reviews, mini reviews, and perspective articles regarding topics including, but not limited to, the following:

• Optical/electrochemical sensors.
• POCT luminescence sensors.
• Smartphone-based luminescence biosensors.
• New luminescent materials in sensing applications.
• Luminescent materials in food safety monitoring.
• Luminescent materials in environmental analysis.
• Luminescent materials in the traceability analysis of pathogenic microorganisms.

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. 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 2700 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.
