Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sensors play an important role in environmental monitoring, industrial safety, and other fields, but current sensors are still faced with stability, and sensing performance is difficult to meet in the increasing requirements for applications. Therefore, how to develop the better stability and better sensing performance of the material has become a very urgent demand. Here, we are pleased to invite you to contribute a research paper or review on the topics of the high-throughput screening of sensor materials, the synthesis and characterization of sensor materials and devices, sensor signal processing, and sensor applications, etc., in order to promote the technological development of artificial intelligence in the direction of sensor material optimization, structural design, process exploration, performance improvement, etc., and build a model for sensitive material property calculation and optimal material system mining. Designing optimization methods for the sensor structural parameters generated under high throughput screening, constructing automatic learning optimization models for the key processing parameters of sensors, developing intelligent algorithms such as sensor self-calibration and adaptive compensation, and preparing new intelligent sensors enabled by artificial intelligence are necessary so that the performance of sensors can meet the growing demand.
This Special Issue aims to promote the development of sensors. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- High-throughput screening of sensing materials.
- Synthesis and characterization of materials for s
- Intelligent processing of sensing signals.
- Preparation and application of sensors.
- Perovskite-based sensors.
- Metal oxide-based sensors.
- MEMS or MEMS array sensors.
- E-Nose.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
