Biochemical Derived Nanostructures and Nanomaterials for Electrochemical Sensing and Monitoring Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Electrochemical techniques are vital for trace substance sensing and monitoring and for applications in the biomedical, environmental and food science fields. Nanostructures and nanomaterials have played an increasingly significant role in electrochemical sensing and monitoring. Sensing performance can be enhanced by unique nanomaterials with a large surface area, accessible active sites and high electrical conductivity. Therefore, novel nanomaterials or nanocomposites (including biological nanomaterials, organic nanomaterials and inorganic nanomaterials) are needed to harvest the favorable properties of different constituents and achieve an enhanced sensing performance. Thus, the rational design of functional nanomaterials tailored to boost the performance of electrochemical sensors is critical.

We are pleased to invite you to submit your latest research to this Special Issue in Nanomaterials on novel nanomaterial design and electrochemical application in biomedical, environmental and food science applications.

Original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: (1) novel nanomaterials or nanocomposites design; (2) electrochemical sensing and monitoring; (3) biomedical, environmental and food science applications. To be considered for this Special Issue, the corresponding authors must have received their doctoral degree within the last 15 years. We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2400 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.
