Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ion Selective Electrodes (ISE) are membrane electrodes that selectively measure the concentration of ions or molecules. The most common ISE is the glass membrane pH probe. Like the common pH probe, all ISE probes share the benefits of low cost, portability, minimal sample preparation, and ease of use. Membranes can be made of glass for hydrogen or sodium ions; solid inorganic salts for fluoride, chloride, silver, lead (II), copper (II), cadmium, or cyanide ions; or polymers for potassium, calcium, perchlorate, or nitrate ions and may be gas permeable for ammonia, carbon dioxide, or sulfur dioxide or can contain enzymes for biochemical analysis. An ISE measures the potential difference across a membrane compared to a reference electrode, which depends on the activity of the ion or molecule that membrane and electrode is designed to measure. The activity is related to the concentration, so the potential is proportional to the concentration.
This Special Issue on “Ion Selective Electrodes” will include applications of ISE and new interfaces in environmental analysis, water and wastewater monitoring, biochemical and pharmaceutical, and education.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
