Recent Advances in Smart Gas Sensing Technologies

Dear Colleagues,

Nowadays, there is an increasing demand for cheap, rapid and reliable analysis of gas molecules and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in various fields. To date, the gold standard for gas analysis has been spectroscopy-based techniques. Nevertheless, sensor-based gas sensing technologies have emerged as promising alternatives, in particular for on-site analysis and in situ monitoring, thanks to their reduced cost and better portability.

This Special Issue on “Recent Advances in Smart Gas Sensing Technologies” aims to highlight recent methodological and technological advances in the development of sensor-based gas sensing technologies and their applications in diverse fields (environment, food, cosmetic, medical, etc.). It will cover topics including, but not limited to, the development of novel gas sensors (olfactory biosensors, electronic nose, chemical sensors, physical sensors, nanosensors, optoelectronic and photonic sensors, optomechanical sensors, remote sensors, etc.); the design and synthesis of new materials (biomaterials, 2D materials, nanomaterials, etc.) for the improvement of sensor performance; the input of artificial intelligence for data treatment; the application of the developed gas sensors in diverse fields. Both original research papers and review articles are welcome.

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.
