Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanoengineering involves the design, synthesis, and application of materials and devices with dimensions on the nanoscale. Among the important areas of research in nanoengineering are the development of chemical and gas sensors with high sensitivity, selectivity, and reliability. The objective of this Issue is to explore advances in the field of chemical and gas sensors, many of which are driven by the development of new nanomaterials, sensing mechanisms, and device architectures. The specific research objectives are:
- To review the recent advances in nanomaterials for chemical and gas sensing, including in metal oxides, carbon-based materials, and nanocomposites.
- To investigate the sensing mechanisms of nanomaterial-based chemical and gas sensors, including surface functionalization, charge transfer, and surface plasmon resonance.
- To analyze the design and fabrication of nanomaterial-based chemical and gas sensors, including device architecture, sensing element size, and fabrication methods.
- To evaluate the performance of nanomaterial-based chemical and gas sensors, including the sensitivity, selectivity, response time, and stability.
- To explore the potential applications of nanomaterial-based chemical and gas sensors in various fields, such as environmental monitoring, industrial safety, medical diagnostics, and food quality control.
The Special Issue of "Innovations of Chemical/Gas Sensor Application in Nanoengineering" can fit within several areas of the scope list related as:
Lab-on-a-chip; Remote sensors; Sensor networks; Smart/Intelligent sensors Sensor devices; Sensor technology and application; Sensing principles; Optoelectronic and photonic sensors; Sensor arrays and Chemometrics; Micro and nanosensors; MEMS/NEMS.

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. Sensors 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.
