Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted lots of attention due to their peculiar features. Since CNTs were first discovered in the 1990s, they had been the focus of multidisciplinary research areas because of their various, unique physicochemical properties and possible applications in sensing platforms. In addition, CNTs have a large specific surface area, which enables immobilization of a large number of functional units at their surface, making them well suited for a wide variety of challenging applications.
In recent decades, thousands of scientific reports were published on the topic of CNTs-based sensors, suggesting the important role of nanostructured materials in both basic research and the potential industrial application as sensing tools. In this regard, electrochemical methods offer several advantages respect to other techniques, as very sensitive detection, cost-effective instrumentations, fast read-out, and the possibility of miniaturization of instruments to develop point-of-care devices and, consequently, in situ analysis
The aim of this Special Issue is to collect novel electrochemical sensors/biosensors based on CNTs as key sensing element for target analyte monitoring in different research fields. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Carbon nanotubes;
- Biosensors and sensors;
- Electrochemical techniques;
- Point-of-care;
- Smart devices.
We invite authors to submit manuscripts for this forthcoming Special Issue on Application of Carbon Nanotubes in Sensing. Original research papers and critical reviews are welcome.

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 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.
