Recent Advances in Chemical Gas Sensors

Dear Colleagues,

Currently, gas sensors have become an integral necessity of numerous technological devices in a variety of applications. According the application need, variable sensing characteristics are often desired that are usually defined in terms of sensitivity, selectivity, gas concentration range, operating temperature range, and thermochemical stability. Among various sensing techniques, chemical gas sensors are a potentially competitive sensing technology that have reached the commercial market. In recent years, there has been enormous progress in the development of high-performance and miniaturized sensors, including chemoresistive, electrochemical and field-effect transistor (FET)-type gas sensors. These advancements will further widen the horizon of the sensor market in industrial, agricultural and automotive environment monitoring.

This Special Issue will provide a platform to feature recent efforts aimed toward advancing fundamental and applied research in the area of chemical gas sensors. Original research papers, short communications and review articles are expected to cover but not limit to the following domains:

• Novel nano- and heterostructure materials;
• Thin films, porous materials;
• Metal oxide/semiconductor heterojunctions;
• New sensing principles and mechanisms;
• Automotive gas sensors;
• Miniaturized and integrated sensors;
• Functional sensor materials;
• Chemoresistive gas sensors;
• Electrochemical gas sensors;
• Capacitive gas sensors;
• FET/MEMS gas sensors.

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-anonymized 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.
