Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gas sensors have extensive applications, especially for environmental monitoring, medical and healthcare applications, and so on. The rapid real-time detection of harmful and polluting gasses in the last several decades has become of great importance in the fields of environmental control, chemical manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, medical diagnostics, and many others.
Novel gas-sensing devices based on nanostructured thin films are promising to achieve better sensitivity, selectivity, and faster response times. Thin-film gas sensors also need to be embedded into various devices, such as smartphones or wearable objects in emerging applications; therefore, they have attracted great interest.
This Special Issue aims to generate discussions on the latest advances in research on gas-sensing technologies and more particularly the challenges and opportunities offered by thin-film 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 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.
