Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the field of sensing and biosensing has experienced a remarkable growth, allowing the attainment of devices with increased performance for monitoring specific substances in several application fields. Environmental research, medical diagnostics, the agri-food industry, and occupational safety significantly benefit from the employment of these tools everyday. In this scenario, electrochemical sensors and biosensors have always shown incredible versatility and simplicity of use, with high sensitivity and possibility of miniaturization.
The intention of this Special Issue is to focus on the latest advances in electrochemical (bio)sensing, considering the several aspects characterizing the attainment of these devices. A broad spectrum of topics can be covered in this Special Issue, and some interesting suggestions are as follows:
- New performant nanomaterial synthesis methods.
- New strategies of surface (bio)functionalization.
- Development of new electrochemical transduction/amplification signal techniques.
- Employment of computational studies for sensing mechanism prediction/explanation.
- Artificial intelligence (AI) employment in data processing/analysis.
- 3D-printing techniques for (bio)sensors manufacturing (e.g., the attainment of electrodes with different materials, morphologies, and geometries; electrochemical cells; microfluidic systems; and system customization).
- Miniaturization and incorporation of electrochemical (bio)sensors into wearable electronics, lab-on-a-chip systems, and portable devices.
- Application to environmental monitoring, food quality control, medical diagnostics/monitoring, and so on.
We sincerely hope this Special Issue will be able to give researchers a valid contribution in sharing their most recent discoveries and advancements in the fields of electrochemical (bio)sensors. To enhance the state of the art in this quickly developing topic, we welcome submissions that highlight both theoretical developments and 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 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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
