Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Combining electrochemical sensors with nanomaterials that have unique properties will greatly enhance the sensitivity and selectivity of the sensors; therefore, nanomaterial-based electrochemical sensors have been widely used for various applications due to their high sensitivity, accuracy, rapid response, and portability. So far, many nanomaterials have been gradually proposed, including covalent organic frameworks, metal–organic frameworks, MXenes, carbon materials, metal nanoparticles, metal oxides, and their derivatives. Among them, the synthesis method, surface modification, structure regulation, and integration strategy have a significant influence on the properties of these nanomaterials, which not only endows electrochemical sensors with outstanding sensing performance, but also enriches the construction of electrochemical sensing platforms, greatly contributing to the development of electrochemical sensing and other fields of research.
Therefore, the principal purpose of this topic is to collect the latest research concerning electrochemical sensing based on advanced nanomaterials, with the aim of providing a reference for subsequent research on sensing and accelerating the research progress in this field.
We invite original research articles related to electrochemical sensors based on nanomaterials and their nanocomposites. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- The new concept of nanomaterials-based sensors;
- Electrochemical sensors based on nanomaterials and their nanocomposites with excellent performance;
- The design of novel nanomaterials and their nanocomposites for electrochemical sensors;
- Cutting-edge technology to improve the performance of nanomaterials in electrochemical sensing;
- The development of instruments based on nanomaterials for electrochemical sensing detection.
Before submission, authors should carefully read over the journal’s Author Guidelines, which are located at https://www.mdpi.com/journal/molecules/instructions.
Both review papers and original research articles are 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. 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.
