Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gas sensors with high sensitivity, excellent selectivity, good stability, low power consumption, low detection limits, and low cost are a goal of most researchers in this field. As a type of chemical sensor, sensitive materials play a key role in gas-sensing performance in most cases, except for some optical gas sensors. Deepening our understanding of gas-sensing mechanisms is necessary to improve or optimize such sensors’ performance. Only with more reliable performance will gas sensors draw increased attention and be applied to different areas.
This Special Issue aims to collect research and review papers reporting on recent progress in materials utilized in different types of gas sensors, including novel synthesis methods, morphology control, doping, and functionalization. New experimental and theoretical insights into gas-sensing mechanisms are particularly welcome. Developments in applications of gas sensors also fall within the scope of this 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. 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.
