Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to their several advantages and decades of research and development, chemical sensors based on metallic compounds and carbon have emerged as one of the primary research orientations for gas detection. As detection needs increase, more nanomaterials with an innovative structure, outstanding performance, lower detection limits, and good stability are being investigated and practically applied as sensitive materials.
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are ubiquitous in multiple specific settings, such as confined spaces and chemical production processes. As a class of harmful compounds to humans, it is essential to achieve superior detection of VOCs, particularly in terms of lower detection limits of sub-ppm and shorter response time. Furthermore, it will be remarkable if the sensor can be further miniaturized and applied in practical environmental monitoring.
The Special Issue “Chemical Sensors for Volatile Organic Compound Detection” seeks papers on chemical gas sensors for the effective detection of VOCs. Authors are invited to submit articles focused on selective enhancement, lower power consumption, fast response, and other aspects. Papers on the characterization and evaluation of sensing performance or the completion of gas-sensitive mechanistic discussions of experimental phenomena will also be very well received.

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.
