Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Photoelectrochemical sensors represent a rapidly evolving and crucial area within the field of chemosensors. By integrating the principles of photoelectric conversion and electrochemical processes, these sensors have opened up new frontiers for highly sensitive and selective detection in various fields, such as environmental monitoring, bioanalysis, and food safety. Surface plasmon tesonance (SPR) sensors have revolutionized chemosensing with their high sensitivity and label-free detection capabilities. SPR sensors rely on the interaction between light and free electrons at the metal–dielectric interface to detect changes in the refractive index, enabling the detection of various analytes. This Special Issue focuses on the current status and future perspectives of photoelectrochemical and SPR sensors, covering recent advancements in sensor design, fabrication techniques, and applications. Topics include recent innovations in sensor design, advanced materials for enhanced performance, innovative detection strategies, developing novel SPR-based biosensors for biomolecular interactions, integrating SPR sensors with microfluidics for point-of-care diagnostics, and exploring SPR sensors for environmental monitoring and chemical analysis. Both review and original research articles are requested for showcasing the latest developments and future challenges in this rapidly evolving field.

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.
