Advances in Nano-Electrochemical Sensors

Dear Colleagues,

The development of nanostructured materials for high-performance electrochemical sensors has become an active and globally significant research area due to their broad range of potential applications, including medical diagnostics (e.g., biomarker detection), environmental monitoring (pollutant and contaminant detection), and food quality and safety analysis. Despite remarkable progress, current electrochemical sensors still face major challenges such as cross-sensitivity, limited operational stability, frequent calibration requirements, and sensitivity to environmental factors like temperature. Achieving both high selectivity and sensitivity simultaneously also remains a critical hurdle. 

Advances in functional nanomaterials are expected to address these challenges and enable the development of next-generation electrochemical sensing platforms. In this Special Issue, we invite the submission of Research Articles and Review Articles focusing on all aspects of advanced nanoscale materials for electrochemical sensors. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, two-dimensional (2D) materials, carbon-based nanomaterials, conductive polymers, metallic nanoparticles, and metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). We also welcome contributions on the design, fabrication, and application of novel electrochemical sensing devices, as well as studies exploring nano-electrochemical sensor technologies for real-world applications.

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.
