Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Environmental pollution is becoming increasingly concerning, representing one of the biggest challenges in modern society today. Tons of toxic and harmful substances are released to the environment every day from different industrial processes, mobile sources, etc. These contaminants present a threat to the environment, and exposure to them can lead to the development of serious health conditions, even cancer. Therefore, it is important to monitor the presence and concentration of these substances before releasing them to the atmosphere. In recent years, sensors, particularly gas and electrochemical sensors developed from 2D metal oxides, have garnered increasing interest in this regard. Therefore, this Special Issue welcomes submissions on, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Environmental sensors;
- Environmental pollution;
- Smart/intelligent/digital gas sensors;
- Electrochemical gas sensors;
- Electrochemical ion sensors;
- Electrochemical dye sensors;
- Nanosensors;
- 2D materials;
- Memristor-based gas sensors (Gasistors);
- Metal oxide sensors;
- Metal oxide semiconductors (MOSs).

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-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.
