Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As network-connected systems of interconnected computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, or people, the Internet of Things (IoT) linked with identifiable and analyzable communication channels has resulted in breakthroughs in environmental monitoring, structural health monitoring, intelligent transportation, human motion detection, and healthcare. Moreover, along with developments in energy-harvesting technologies such as photoelectrics, piezoelectrics, triboelectrics, and so on, self-powered sensors have been shown to have signal-proactive and energy-saving qualities, thus improving intelligence and efficiency in practical applications. Through active responses to external excitations and synchronous digitalization, distributed sensors provide a comprehensive digital application scenario with perceptive and interactive channels, as well as basic data for big data, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. This Special Issue on “Self-Powered Sensors for the Internet of Things (IoT) applications” aims to cover recent achievements in the fields of developing self-powered sensors with energy-harvesting technologies, integrating self-powered sensors with wireless sensor networks, and promoting advanced IoT applications with intelligence algorithms. In light of the above, this Special Issue solicits original research which advances fabrication, performance, accuracy, and efficiency in self-powered sensors. Surveys and reviews are also welcomed.

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.
