In a recent ECS Sensors Plus publication, researchers spotlight a cutting-edge advancement in non-enzymatic glucose sensing using vanadium MXene-modified disposable screen-printed electrodes. The study, “Vanadium MXene Modified Disposable Screen-Printed Electrodes for Highly Sensitive Glucose Sensing,” explores the development of a highly sensitive, cost-effective, and reproducible sensor platform capable of rapid glucose detection.

Leveraging the unique electrochemical properties of vanadium-based MXenes, the authors demonstrate a low detection limit, wide linear range, and excellent selectivity—key parameters that make the device promising for real-world clinical and wearable biosensing applications. This innovation supports the growing demand for accessible and accurate glucose monitoring technologies, particularly in the management of diabetes. (more…)

As we embark on Peer Review Week 2024, running from September 23 to September 27, we reflect on the fundamental role peer review plays in the world of scholarly publishing. The scholarly publishing community, including The Electrochemical Society (ECS), marks this week by celebrating peer reviewers whose diligence and expertise ensure the integrity, quality, and impact of the research published. This year’s theme—Innovation and Technology in Peer Review—embodies the spirit of collaboration and rigorous standards that are essential to advancing science.

Peer review is the backbone of scientific research. Every groundbreaking paper published today is a testament to the peer reviewers assessing the quality and validity of manuscripts submitted for publication consideration. For over 100 years, ECS has been a global leader in advancing electrochemistry and solid state science. This progress has been fueled by the contributions of peer reviewers, who uphold the mission of accelerating advancements in science while maintaining an unwavering commitment to protecting the integrity of the scholarly record. At its core, peer review is a process of scrutiny, correction, and validation. It ensures that research findings are trustworthy, replicable, and based on sound methodologies. This process enables journals to publish work that can reliably contribute to the scientific community’s collective knowledge and helps prevent the dissemination of false or misleading information. Peer reviewers are the gatekeepers, safeguarding the integrity of the scholarly record. (more…)
