Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to a newly launched Special Issue of Molecules, entitled ‘Cutting-Edge Electroanalysis and Molecular Electrochemistry’. As electrochemical science continues to evolve toward increasingly sensitive, selective, and mechanistically informed analytical platforms, this Special Issue aims to showcase innovative concepts, emerging materials, and fundamental insights that are shaping the next generation of electroanalytical methods.
We particularly welcome contributions that move beyond incremental device development to provide molecular-level understanding of electrochemical processes, including structure–property–function relationships, charge-transfer mechanisms, and interfacial phenomena. Studies that elucidate the electrochemical behavior of novel, underexplored, or previously uncharacterized molecular systems—including functional nanomaterials, hybrid interfaces, and biologically relevant species—are especially encouraged.
The scope of this Special Issue spans both fundamental and applied research, with an emphasis on work that integrates mechanistic insight with analytical performance. Contributions may be submitted as original research articles or communications, while critical and forward-looking reviews addressing emerging directions in electroanalysis are also welcome.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Molecular electrochemistry: redox mechanisms, charge-transfer pathways, and structure–electroactivity relationships.
- Next-generation electrode materials: molecularly engineered surfaces, nanostructured and hybrid materials.
- Interfacial electrochemistry: electrode–electrolyte interactions, surface functionalization, and electrochemical kinetics.
- Structural and mechanistic studies supporting electroanalytical method development.
- Biorecognition and functional interface engineering for selective electrochemical sensing.
- Emerging trends in electroanalysis, including multimodal, molecularly informed, and system-integrated approaches.
Through this Special Issue, we aim to provide a platform for high-impact, conceptually driven research that advances electroanalysis at both the molecular and methodological levels. With your contributions, we hope to highlight cutting-edge developments that will define future directions in the field.
Sincerely,
Dr. Milan Sys
Prof. Dr. Ivan Švancara

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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
