Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gas sensing technology plays a critical role in environmental monitoring, industrial safety, healthcare, and food quality assessment. The rapid development of nanomaterials and microfabrication technologies has facilitated the continuous emergence of novel gas-sensing materials, accompanied by sustained improvements in sensing performance and the notable expansion of practical application scenarios. Theoretical calculations and experimental studies contribute to the advancement of the field through distinct yet complementary pathways. Computational approaches help to clarify the fundamental relationships between material microstructure and sensing performance, thereby offering rational guidance for the design of next-generation sensing materials. Experimental studies, on the other hand, provide direct validation of sensing performance under realistic operating conditions, thereby bridging the gap between laboratory research and practical applications.
This Special Issue, entitled "Advanced Materials for Gas Sensing Applications: From First-Principles Insights to Real-World Applications," showcases cutting-edge research in the field of gas-sensing materials and sensor technologies. We invite theoretical calculations, experimental research, and integrated studies that combine both methods.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized 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 2000 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.
