Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ion selective electrodes (ISEs) are one of the oldest classes of chemical sensors. Together with their sister class of optical sensors (optodes), ISEs have enjoyed tremendous success in clinical analysis. It is estimated that over a billion measurements are performed worldwide in clinical laboratories alone, while devices based on these two classes of sensors have an estimated market value of over 3 billion USD. Success in the theoretical understanding of mechanisms of response has resulted in a substantial lowering of limits of detection and improvement of selectivity.
We appreciate that research in modern ISEs and optodes is very versatile. In this Special Issue, we would like to showcase examples of work that can lead towards expansion of application abilities of ISEs and optodes. Therefore, potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Materials:
- Externally stimulated materials;
- Conductive polymers;
- Carbon-based nanomaterials;
- MOFs;
- Ionic liquids;
- Biomaterials;
- Instrumental devices:
- Integration of sensors with electronic devices;
- Utilization of statistical methodologies for simpler data processing;
- Application of novel-material-based electrochemical sensors in:
- Environmental analysis;
- Health;
- Safety and security.
Both journal articles and reviews 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. 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.
