Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Chemiluminescent (CL) and electrochemiluminescent (ECL) sensing combine the power of fluorescence analysis with miniaturization and low cost. Research into these sensors involves development of novel electrode materials and functionalization chemistry, as well as detection strategies such as smartphones and machine learning. CL and ECL sensors have many applications, including, but not limited to, environmental and biomedical analysis. ECL methods are sensitive and can be applied to laboratory analysis, but are also amenable to portable and inexpensive detection methods.
This Special Issue aims to showcase original research and review articles on recent advances, technologies, instrumentation, applications, and new challenges in the areas of chemiluminescent and electrochemiluminescent sensors.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- biosensors
- novel electrode materials
- bipolar electrodes
- novel ECL and CL species and/or materials
- reaction mechanism investigation
- microscale analysis
- portable and microfluidic devices
- applications (e.g., clinical, environmental)
- novel detection strategies (e.g., smartphones)

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.
