Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microfluidic electrochemical sensors (µFESs) have gained significant attention and have been widely deployed across various fields, including biochemical analysis, environmental monitoring, food safety, and clinical diagnostics. According to publicly available data, the global µFES market was valued at approximately USD 2.1 billion in 2023 and is projected to expand to USD 6.3 billion by 2032, reflecting its rapidly growing importance in both research and commercial sectors. Compared to conventional macroelectrodes, the integration of microelectrodes (µEs) into µFESs offers distinct advantages, such as higher sensitivity, enhanced S/N, rapid response, and ease of miniaturization, making them particularly suitable for portable, real-time, and point-of-care applications. Therefore, in this Special Issue, we want to focus on the following topics:
- µE-based µFES sensing systems.
- Wearable and implantable µE-based µFES devices.
- New materials and advanced µE design and fabrication.
- Fundamental understanding of micro-electrochemistry.
- FEA simulation to optimize µE structure for high-performance µFESs.

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.
