Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Anchoring molecules and biomolecules at electrode surfaces is a cost-efficient and easy solution for the development of sensors and biosensors. An electrode made of conducting or semiconducting material can be modified with inorganic or organic materials (monomolecular, multi-molecular, ionic, polymeric films, etc.) and this gives specificity and/or molecular recognition capabilities to the device. Due to Faradaic reactions or interfacial potential differences the chemically modified electrodes (CMEs) exhibit chemical, electrochemical or optical properties related to those of the modifying agents.

The purpose of this Special Issue, which focuses on the electrochemical aspects for sensing applications, is to provide an up to date information on both the solid electrodes (e.g., implemented with conductive nanomaterials) and on the inorganic, organic, or biological chemistries used for the functionalization of the electrode surface. Compounds displaying properties such as molecular recognition, chemisorption, host-guest chemistry, coordination chemistry or covalent binding, suitable for the development of potentiometric, amperometric, impedimetric sensors, as well as transistor-based sensors, are among the topics covered by this Special Issue. Everybody working in the specific field is strongly encouraged for submission.

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.
