Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanostructured electrode materials have drawn significant attention from the field electrochemistry for their uses in electrocatalysis, energy storage, and sensors. The controlled design and synthesis of nanostructured materials with a variety of morphologies, surface areas, and functional groups can effectively increase the performance of electrochemical (bio)sensors. Thus, the construction of nanostructured materials is of importance in the efforts to achieve applicable next-generation electrochemical sensors with higher levels of sensitivity and precision. On account of their physical and chemical properties, the nanostructured materials can be used in gas sensors, biosensors, environmental contamination sensors, pH sensors, etc. Accordingly, understanding the structure–function relationship at work can provide significant insights for the development of future electrochemical sensors.
This Special Issue, entitled “Nanostructured-based Electrochemical (Bio)Sensors”, aims to collect original research articles and reviews which focus on designing and synthesizing nanostructured materials for variety of electrochemical sensing purposes (e.g., biosensing, heavy metal ion sensing, gas sensing, pH sensing, etc.), as well as revealing the structure–function relationships. The studies on nanofabricated sensors with new techniques for electrochemical sensing purposes are also welcome.

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. 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.
