Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nowadays, sensors are applied everywhere in society, from industry process control to environmental monitoring to smart home infrastructure. Catalysts are also hot topics. They are found in the petroleum industry, waste deep treatment facilities, and car exhaust treatment devices. Electrochemical materials such as TiO2, ZnO, and 2D materials can be employed in both areas. For example, TiO2 has excellent photoelectrochemical properties, which provide it with superior performance in photocatalysts and toxic gas removal applications. ZnO nanowires can be employed as sensing materials for room-temperature NO2 gas sensors. Graphene or MoS2 composites have been reported to be excellent room-temperature gas sensors or electrochemical catalysts. Many interesting and significant results are emerging in applications of electrochemical materials for sensors and catalysts. This Special Issue aims to report on some exciting work being conducted in this field. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Metal oxides or 2D materials for gas sensors;
- Various electrochemical materials for photocatalysts or electrocatalysts;
- Application research based on electrochemical material-based gas sensor device or catalyst.
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.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 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.
