Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since the first discovery of graphene, two dimensional (2D)-structured nanomaterials have attracted extensive research interest worldwide. Benefitting from their tremendous surface–volume ratio, atomical thickness, as well as excellent conducting or semiconducting property, 2D-structured materials have also exhibited extraordinary potential in the gas detection field. Specifically, their unique 2D structure exposes most of their atoms, which could then interact with environmental gas molecules and output enormous signals. Moreover, the capability of 2D nanomaterials to identify gas analytes at room temperature, as well as their inherent flexible property, render them to be a promising candidate for constructing flexible and wearable gas sensors integrated on a low Young's modulus substrate. Even so, numerous challenges, including selectivity, sensitivity, response time, recovery time, and stability, must be addressed before the practical application of 2D nanomaterials in the gas detection field.
This Special Issue aims to collect the latest research works in the field of 2D materials-based gas sensors, including new 2D materials and new 2D-based composite materials for the use of industrial, agricultural, environmental, medical and domestic gas detection. The Special Issue will also focus on the new sensing mechanism, new sensor design, and new fabrication method of 2D materials-based gas sensors to address the abovementioned challenges. The Special Issue welcomes original research articles, reviews, communications and concept papers.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- New 2D materials for gas detection;
- New fabrication method for 2D materials-based gas sensors;
- New 2D materials-based composites for gas detection;
- First-principle calculation for gas sensing mechanism of 2D materials;
- 2D materials-based flexible or wearable gas sensors;
- 2D materials-based gas sensors for industrial safety;
- 2D materials-based gas sensors for medical diagnosis;
- 2D materials-based gas sensors for human health;
- 2D materials-based printed gas sensors;
- 2D materials-based gas sensor array;

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. Chemosensors is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
