Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Global climate change is undoubtedly one of the biggest challenges that human beings are facing, whose effects will prevail for many years. Since this phenomenon is promoted by the massive emission of gases whose origin is quite diverse, the development of gas-sensing materials and devices has been an area of growing interest and research for decades. Other relevant applications of gas sensors can be found in the prevention of traffic accidents, detection of toxic atmospheres in industrial or residential areas, fire prevention, internal combustion engines, etc.. This Special Issue invites contributions about the development of sensors for environmental or hazardous gases based on 3D hierarchical metal oxide structures, nanostructured inorganic compounds, thin films.

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.
