Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanomaterials, with their exceptional physicochemical properties and tunable architectures, have revolutionized modern science and technology, driving innovations in energy, healthcare, and environmental sectors over the past decade. Particularly in biosensing, their high surface-to-volume ratio, enhanced catalytic activity, and tailored electronic properties make them ideal candidates for advancing electrochemical sensors, enabling the ultrasensitive, selective, and rapid detection of biomolecules, pathogens, and environmental contaminants.
This Special Issue focuses on the transformative role of nanomaterials in electrochemical sensor design and applications. We invite contributions exploring novel nanomaterial synthesis (e.g., 2D materials, metal–organic frameworks, quantum dots) and mechanistic studies on nanomaterial–analyte interactions. Submissions addressing environmental monitoring (e.g., pollutant tracking) and food safety (e.g., toxin detection) are particularly encouraged. Additionally, interdisciplinary studies bridging computational modeling and machine learning-aided optimization are welcome.
We welcome original articles, reviews, and perspectives that push the boundaries of nanomaterial-based electrochemical sensing. Join us in shaping the future of this dynamic field—submit your work and contribute to a collective leap toward electrochemical sensing nanomaterials.

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. 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.
