Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue "Recent Study of Electrochemical Sensors or Biosensors Based on Nanomaterials" focuses on the advancements and applications of nanomaterials in the field of electrochemical sensors and biosensors. Nanomaterials have garnered significant attention due to their unique properties, such as high surface area, excellent conductivity, and enhanced catalytic activity, which make them suitable candidates for sensor development.

This Special Issue aims to showcase recent studies that highlight the synthesis, characterization, and utilization of nanomaterials in the design of electrochemical sensors and biosensors. It covers a wide range of topics, including the development of nanomaterial-based electrode materials, functionalization strategies, fabrication techniques, and their integration into sensing platforms. Additionally, the issue explores the applications of these sensors in various fields, such as healthcare, environmental monitoring, food safety, and biomedical diagnostics.

The contributions in this Special Issue provide valuable insights into the design principles, performance optimization, and practical applications of nanomaterial-based electrochemical sensors and biosensors. This collection of research articles will serve as a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, and practitioners interested in the field of nanomaterial-based sensing technologies.

This study presents a comprehensive literature review that investigates the distinctions between true and false cinnamon. Given the intricate compositions of essential oils (EOs), various discrimination approaches were explored to ensure quality, safety, and authenticity, thereby establishing consumer confidence. Through the utilization of physical–chemical and instrumental analyses, the purity of EOs was evaluated via qualitative and quantitative assessments, enabling the identification of constituents or compounds within the oils. Consequently, a diverse array of techniques has been documented, encompassing organoleptic, physical, chemical, and instrumental methodologies, such as spectroscopic and chromatographic methods. Electronic noses (e-noses) exhibit significant potential for identifying cinnamon adulteration, presenting a rapid, non-destructive, and cost-effective approach. Leveraging their capability to detect and analyze volatile organic compound (VOC) profiles, e-noses can contribute to ensuring authenticity and quality in the food and fragrance industries. Continued research and development efforts in this domain will assuredly augment the capacities of this promising avenue, which is the utilization of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) algorithms in conjunction with spectroscopic data to combat cinnamon adulteration.
