Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The research on gas sensors has been of big interest for many decades due to the broad range of applications in many fields, such as environmental protection, combustion gas detection, medical diagnosis, civil safety, and food quality control. Yet, this area is still rapidly expanding. Thanks to the development of materials science and nanotechnology, new sensing materials are being constantly searched, as the modifications of well-known sensing materials are applied to improve the sensitivity, selectivity, and response times and decrease sensor operating temperature. Also, the rapid improvement of experimental techniques combined with computational power increase allow us to understand better mechanisms of particular gas detection. Thus, more efficient devices can be designed.
The Special Issue will provide a forum for the latest research activities in the field of gas sensors and review articles on the latest progress in this area. Both review articles and original research papers are solicited in, though not limited to, the following areas:
- New materials for gas sensors;
- New sensing techniques;
- Novel approaches for gas sensor design and testing;
- Models and computational simulations for the gas-sensing material interaction;
- Processes and fabrication technologies for gas sensors.

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.
