Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue invites original research and review papers on next-generation gas sensors and electronic noses (e-noses) for environmental monitoring, industrial safety, healthcare, food quality, and hydrogen energy systems. We seek advances in relation to materials, devices, signal processing, and system integration that deliver higher sensitivity, selectivity, stability, and scalability. Topics include (but are not limited to) the following:
Nanostructured metal oxides, MOFs/COFs, 2D materials (TMDs and graphene derivatives), ferroelectrics, and hybrid/printed films; transduction mechanisms (resistive, capacitive, optical, acoustic, and electrochemical); CMOS and flexible integration; inkjet/roll-to-roll manufacturing; multi-analyte arrays and cross-reactive sensing; calibration-free/low-power operation; algorithms for drift compensation, transfer learning, and edge AI; datasets, benchmarks, and uncertainty quantification; hydrogen and VOC detection under realistic interferents (humidity, temperature, and complex mixtures); robustness, aging, and self-healing strategies; and real-world deployments, interoperability, and standards.
We look forward to and welcome your participation in this Special Issue.

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. Micromachines 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 2100 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.
