Advanced Chemical Sensors for Gas Detection

Dear Colleagues,

Chemical sensors are powerful and indispensable tools that enable the detection and quantification of chemical substances in diverse gas environments. In contrast to liquid detection, they accurately identify and respond to gaseous substances, facing several challenges in the process. Over the past few years, a large amount of advanced materials and techniques have been developed in this field. Those sensors can provide highly sensitive and selective response to diverse gaseous chemicals via optical, electrical, and electrochemical signals, among others. With the advancement of material science, processing technology, miniaturized or integrated devices, Internet of Things, as well as emerging artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) concepts, etc., gas chemosensors will usher in a much promising future.

This Special Issue aims to highlight recent advances, challenges, and future prospects of advanced chemical sensing materials and technologies centered around gas detection in order to ensure environmental monitoring, industrial analysis, secure responses, as well as healthcare and medical diagnosis, etc. The Special Issue covers all aspects within chemically gas sensing, including novel gas-sensitive materials (inorganic, organic, hybrid, and composite), together with their synthesis and characterization, advanced sensor processing technology, special architectural or theoretical design, multi-dimensional performance evaluation and optimization, as well as their applications or even commercialization processes. Both systematic review articles and innovative research papers are welcome.

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.
