Graphene Based Gas Sensors

Dear Colleagues,

Graphene, a kind of nanomaterial, has attracted the scientific community’s attention since it was isolated in 2004, showing promising applications in scientific and technological fields, owing to its novel properties, such as electrical, thermal, thermo-electric and mechanical properties. Graphene and its derivatives, including graphene oxide (GO) and other graphene-related materials (GRMs), have attracted ever-increasing interest in recent years as a novel class of 2D carbon-based nano materials, with the promise of a range of applications. GO has a large surface area, excellent conductivity, good chemical stability and easy fabrication, in combination these make GO the paramount materials in the fields of sensors and electrocatalysis, which often exhibits electroanalytical performance as excellent as or superior to carbon nanotubes. GO, a material of recent interest for sensors, have created a lot of attention due to the fact that it paved the way for solution-based synthesis of graphene sheets and as sensors. This Special Issue focuses on reviewing graphene-related materials (GRMs) for gas sensing applications with a special attention on flexible sensing elements.

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-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.
