State-of-the-Art and Advances in Electrochemical Sensors/Biosensors

Dear Colleagues,

Electrochemical methods and electroanalytical techniques are promising next-generation analytical tools for various sensing and biosensing applications and offer many advantages over conventional analytical techniques. Great attention has been paid to the development and advancement of electrochemical sensors/biosensors due to their exceptional characteristics and remarkable features such as rapid response, sensitivity and low detection limits, selectivity, simplicity and ease of use, cost-effectiveness, compatibility for miniaturization, and low sample volume requirements. The versatility of these tools ensures their use in a broad biological and chemical analytes detection.

Electrochemical sensors convert the redox reactions on the electrode surface to electronically readable signals that show changes in current, potential, and conductivity. The fundamental principle of electrochemical biosensors is the recognition incident between the immobilized biological sensing element (e.g., enzymes, antibodies, whole cells, aptamers, etc.) and target analyte that results in alterations in signal (e.g., current, potential, and impedance). The transduction of a biological or chemical signal into an electrical signal can be achieved by using voltammetry, amperometry, potentiometry, or electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), etc.

Electrochemical sensors and biosensors hold great promise to meet future needs for a diverse range of applications, including environmental and agri-food monitoring, food contaminants and safety, bioanalysis, clinical diagnostics, and monitoring of industrial processes.

This Special Issue aims to collect the latest developments and advancements in electrochemical sensors/biosensors and their applications to identify new scientific frontiers in this space. Original research papers, reviews, mini-reviews, and perspective articles are all 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. Chemosensors is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
