Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electrochemical sensors and biosensors are analytical devices that convert chemical information into electrical signals, which can be easily measured and quantified. Widely used in various fields, including environmental monitoring, medical diagnostics, food safety, and clinical chemistry, these sensors offer high sensitivity, specificity, and relatively low cost. The performance of electrochemical sensors and biosensors depends on the choice of sensing materials. Commonly used materials include conductive polymers, metal nanoparticles, and carbon-based substances such as graphene and glassy carbon. Electrochemical sensors can be categorized into amperometric, potentiometric, voltammetric, conductometric, and impedimetric, depending on the measured electrical parameters. Ongoing research aims to improve electrochemical sensors and biosensors' sensitivity, selectivity, and stability. Additionally, a growing interest is in developing wearable and implantable devices for continuous health monitoring. This Special Issue focuses on the exciting field of electrochemical sensors and biosensors and aims to highlight their importance in modern analytical chemistry and their potential for future technological advancements.

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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
