Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of smart sensors based on optoelectronic and piezoelectric materials has witnessed remarkable advancements in recent years, driven by the increasing demand for high-performance, energy-efficient, and compact sensing solutions in various applications such as structural health monitoring, the Internet of Things, wearable electronics, and environmental monitoring, among others. This Special Issue aims to collect innovative contributions in the form of original research and review articles on recent advances in the design, fabrication, processing, modification, functionalization, and engineering of smart sensors that exploit the utilization of novel optoelectronic and piezoelectric materials, as well as their applications in various fields.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Novel optoelectronic and piezoelectric materials and their properties;
- Theoretical and computational modeling of smart sensor materials and devices;
- Design, fabrication, and integration of optoelectronic and piezoelectric sensors for smart sensing;
- Characterization techniques for optoelectronic and piezoelectric materials and devices;
- Advanced algorithms for signal processing in optoelectronic and piezoelectric sensors;
- Applications of optoelectronic and piezoelectric sensors in wearable electronics, environmental monitoring, structural health, the Internet of Things, and beyond.

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.
