Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Following the success of our Sensors Special Issue, entitled “Electrochemical Sensors and Biosensors: Materials, Methods and Applications”, we would like to once again invite our colleagues from across the world to contribute their expertise, insights and findings in the form of original research articles and reviews for the second edition of the Special Issue, entitled “Electrochemical Sensors and Biosensors: Materials, Methods and Applications—2nd Edition”.
Electrochemical sensors and biosensors are analytical devices that convert chemical information into electrical signals, which can be easily measured and quantified. Widely used in various fields, including environmental monitoring, medical diagnostics, food safety and clinical chemistry, these sensors offer high sensitivity, specificity and relatively low cost. The performance of electrochemical sensors and biosensors depends on the choice of sensing materials. Commonly used materials include conductive polymers, metal nanoparticles and carbon-based substances such as graphene and glassy carbon. Electrochemical sensors can be categorized into amperometric, potentiometric, voltammetric, conductometric and impedimetric, depending on the measured electrical parameters. Furthermore, electrochemiluminescence (ECL) has emerged as a powerful and highly sensitive analytical technique that combines the advantages of electrochemical and luminescent methods.
Ongoing research aims to improve electrochemical sensors and biosensors’ sensitivity, selectivity and stability. Additionally, there is growing interest in developing wearable and implantable devices for continuous health monitoring. This Special Issue focuses on the exciting field of electrochemical sensors and biosensors and aims to highlight their importance in modern analytical chemistry and their potential for future technological advancements. In this 2nd edition, we particularly welcome and invite submissions exploring advanced detection methodologies, with special emphasis on electrochemiluminescence and novel electrochemical immunoassays, which are pushing the boundaries of rapid biomarker detection and point-of-care diagnostics.
We also strongly encourage contributions on point-of-care testing (POCT) technologies, such as lateral flow assay platforms utilizing fluorescence spectroscopy detection, which play a pivotal role in decentralized and rapid diagnostics.

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-anonymized 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.
