Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electrochemical sensors are inexpensive and simple analytical tools that have been successfully used for many years in numerous areas of analytical chemistry, including clinical analysis, environmental protection, and industrial analytical control. Due to increasing requirements for sensitivity and selectivity of measurements, there is a growing demand for new devices with better performance. In recent years, thanks to significant progress in the field of materials engineering and the introduction of new materials with unique properties, there has been intensive development of these devices. This Special Issue covers the current state of knowledge on the design of effective, sensitive, and selective electrochemical sensors obtained using new electrode functional materials, i.e., active substances of the receptor layer, nanomaterials, composite materials, hybrid materials, and others. Work on multi-sensor measurement platforms for comprehensive sample analysis as well as systems for continuous and on-site analysis are also welcome. In addition, this thematic Special Issue may also include review papers on current approaches to the design of electrochemical sensors and their critical evaluation.

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.
