Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bioelectrochemical sensing systems have emerged as powerful platforms for the detection and quantification of a wide range of biological, chemical, and environmental targets. Recent progress in electrode materials, biorecognition strategies, nanotechnology, microfabrication, and signal amplification has significantly expanded the capabilities of these systems in terms of sensitivity, selectivity, portability, and real-time monitoring. As applications continue to grow—from healthcare diagnostics and environmental monitoring to food analysis and industrial process control—bioelectrochemical sensors are becoming increasingly important tools in both basic research and practical deployment.
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive forum for the latest developments, innovations, and applications in bioelectrochemical sensing technologies. We invite submissions that highlight new sensor designs, advanced materials, emerging detection principles, analytical performance improvements, and integration with modern technological platforms.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Design and fabrication of bioelectrochemical sensors;
- Enzymatic, immunological, microbial, DNA/RNA, and aptamer-based electrochemical biosensors;
- Novel electrode materials, nanomaterials, and functional interfaces;
- Electrochemical transduction mechanisms: amperometric, voltammetric, potentiometric, impedimetric, field-effect, etc.;
- Microfluidic, wearable, implantable, or lab-on-a-chip bioelectrochemical systems;
- Self-powered and biofuel-cell-based sensing platforms;
- Continuous, real-time, or in vivo monitoring approaches;
- Bioelectrochemical sensing for biomedical, environmental, agricultural, and industrial applications;
- Data analysis, calibration strategies, and machine learning methods for electrochemical sensor outputs;
- Advances in sensor stability, reproducibility, miniaturization, and commercialization.

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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
