Special Issue Information

Dear colleagues,

With the quick progress of technology, requirements for sensors are increasing with advanced sensing performance in various fields, such as life, medical, environmental monitoring, and clinical and scientific biological detection, and the automobile and aerospace industries. In recent years, chemical sensors based on new materials and new technologies have emerged and become important candidates for a new generation of sensors, and are increasingly more attention.

This Special Issue intends to collect original researches and review articles investigating advanced sensing materials applied in the above areas. Studies focusing on emerging materials, methodologies, theoretical simulations, and devices using chemical, electrical, electrochemical, optical, and other forms and combinations of sensing platforms, as well as their key performances and fundamental sensing mechanisms for highly sensitive detection are welcome.

Potential themes include, but are not limited to:

  • Novel chemical sensing materials design, synthesis, and characterization;
  • Nanomaterials with strengthened sensing properties for trace analytes analysis, such as low detection limit, high sensitivity and selectivity;
  • Nanomaterial-based sensor or device fabrication for biological detection;
  • Smart, flexible, and wearable devices for chemical sensing applications;
  • New applications of advanced nanomaterials for early disease diagnosis applications;
  • Theory, modeling, and mechanism of microfluidic-chip-based chemical sensors;
  • Reviews of current chemical sensing methods;
  • New collection and manipulation methods for chemical sensors.

Facile detection of β-lactoglobulin is extraordinarily important for the management of the allergenic safety of cow’s milk and its dairy products. A sensitive electrochemical sensor based on a molecularly imprinted polymer-modified carbon electrode for the detection of β-lactoglobulin was successfully synthesized. This molecularly imprinted polymer was prepared using a hydrothermal method with choline chloride as a functional monomer, β-lactoglobulin as template molecule and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as crosslinking agent. Then, the molecularly imprinted polymer was immobilized on polyethyleneimine (PEI)-reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-gold nanoclusters (Au-NCs) to improve the sensor’s selectivity for β-lactoglobulin. Under optimal experimental conditions, the designed sensor showed a good response to β-lactoglobulin, with a linear detection range between 10−9 and 10−4 mg/mL, and a detection limit of 10−9 mg/mL (S/N = 3). The developed electrochemical sensor showed a high correlation in the detection of β-lactoglobulin in four different milk samples from the market, indicating that the sensor can be used with actual sample.
