Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gas sensor technology has rapidly evolved to deliver innovative solutions for detecting and monitoring gases in all parts of human life, on the Earth, inside, in the atmosphere, and even in space.
Gas sensors are critical for detecting and monitoring gases in a variety of environments, ensuring safety and protection everywhere. They have countless applications: in medicine, diagnostics, industry, mining, agriculture, food production and storage, detecting battery aging or plastic degradation, monitoring climate change and animal migration, etc.
Optimizing these sensors involves enhancing their sensitivity, selectivity, response time, and durability, while also making them incredibly fast, accurate, user friendly, less power consuming, and compatible with web and mobile technologies.
Advanced materials, surface functionalization, nanotechnology, advanced signal processing algorithms, machine learning, and artificial intelligence systems are being explored to further improve sensor performance.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
