Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electrochemical functions are increasingly being implemented in micro- and nano-scaled structures to enable compact, low-power, and highly integrated devices. In micromachines, advances in fabrication, packaging, and system-level integration are as important as electrochemistry itself. This Special Issue welcomes contributions that combine electrochemical principles with micro-/nano-engineering, including (i) microfabricated electrodes and electrode arrays; (ii) lab-on-a-chip and microfluidics-integrated electrochemical sensing and biosensing; (iii) MEMS-enabled electrochemical transducers, actuators, and hybrid sensor systems; (iv) miniaturized energy devices (micro-batteries, micro-supercapacitors, micro-fuel cells, micro-electrolyzers) and the challenges related to their integration with materials; (v) manufacturing methods such as lithography, printing/additive manufacturing, laser micromachining, and wafer-level processes; and (vi) the modeling and characterization of transport, interfaces, and reliability in confined geometries. Both original research and authoritative reviews are encouraged, especially those that demonstrate clear links between device architecture, microfabrication choices, and performance in real operating environments. By highlighting electrochemical microdevices as building blocks for next-generation microsystems, this Special Issue aims to connect researchers working in the fields of microfabrication, microfluidics, MEMS, and electrochemical engineering.

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. Micromachines 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 2100 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.
