Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The monitoring and control of humidity help to ensure an energy-efficient environment, safety and quality of life, and have applications in many areas such as environment control, agriculture/medical/chemical applications, semiconductor industry, climatology, smart building control, and many others. Consequently, there is considerable interest in developing highly sensitive humidity-sensing devices with a high degree of merit. Over the last few years, many humidity sensors based on nanoscale materials were developed on the basis of different transduction principles (resistive, capacitive, optical, surface acoustic wave, etc.). However, various issues relating detection parameters, in terms of higher sensitivities, faster response/recovery kinetics, accuracy/repeatability, and long-term stability, remain challenging. In this respect, the main aim of this Special Issue is to promote new insights and knowledge concerning humidity sensors. Particular emphasis is placed on the research and development of resistive/capacitive/optical humidity sensors based on nanostructured materials. This Special Issue of Sensors can be used as a scientific platform for discussing the benefits and opportunities of humidity sensors based on nanostructured materials. Accordingly, we welcome original research and review articles on humidity sensors developed for a wide range of applications.

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.
