Advances in Electrochemical Bioelectronic Sensors

Dear Colleagues,

Bioelectronics is a fast-developing field that attracts a lot of attention, especially in recent years. The fusion of biology and electrical engineering enabled the use of functional biostructures in sensing and energy harvesting applications. Integration of nature-inspired functionalities and architectures such as enzymes, nucleic acids, aptamers, or antibodies with electronics allows transforming a recognition event into a measurable signal. Biosensors are semantically divided into several subgroups, based on a signal transduction method, among which electrochemical, optical, and piezoelectric are the most popular, whereas the recognition event results in either catalytic reaction or affinity-ligand recognition event.

Biosensors are widely implemented in food and agricultural industries for product quality and environmental control and in biomedical and health-oriented applications. Advances in analytical methods, development of novel functional materials, and signal processing continuously induce improvements in sensitivity, stability, and biocompatibility of biosensors. Furthermore, the recent progress in developing bioenergy harvesters, charge storage technologies, and significant miniaturization of electronics allowed the integration of biosensors with biofuel cells or batteries for autonomous operation, including wearable, implantable, and ingestible biosensors for variable metabolites and health parameters monitoring. Advances in wireless communication technologies and low-power electronics had significantly broadened the application range of biosensors, allowing convenient and user-friendly pairing bioelectronic devices with smartphones and other personal electronics.

This Special Issue focuses on integrated sensing bioelectronics that uses electrochemical signal transduction such as electrochemical biosensors and immunosensors. Dear colleagues, Chemosensors team looks forward to receiving your papers and contribute to the Special Issue! We aim to collect high-quality research and review papers covering fundamental and practical aspects, starting from the implementation of novel materials, surface modification and functionalization methods to design, electronics integration, power management, and signal processing. We believe that this collection will be a valuable guide and important scientific update for the bioelectronics community and a broad scientific audience.

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.
