Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Graphene composites have received widespread attention in the field of chemical sensing due to their excellent electron mobility, large surface area, high optical transparency, and excellent mechanical strength. This special issue aims to provide new insights and achievements on graphene-based chemical sensors, which are not limited to changes in physical and chemical properties of light or electricity.
Due to graphene’s high electronic conductivity and surface reactivity, its application scenarios are widely found in biomolecules, such as glucose, cholesterol, DNA, proteins, etc; environmental pollutants, such as heavy metals, organic compounds, pH changes in water sources, and trace amounts of explosives; monitoring levels of various medications to help health professionals tailor appropriate drug dosages to patients.
All these applications of graphene composites in chemical sensing are not exhaustive and are growing as research advances in the field continue to reveal new discoveries of potential uses.

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. Molecules 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 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.
