Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent decades, optoelectronic devices such as light emitting diodes, photodetectors, solar cells, and image-sensing devices have improved rapidly in terms of efficiency and quality. The rapid evolution in image acquisition has enabled many vision applications such as facile recognition, self-driving vehicles, and autonomous robotics. Human visual systems, such as CMOS imagers or CCD cameras, have been rapidly developed to achieve parity with computer vision. Neuromorphic vision sensors, inspired by biological systems, integrate image sensing, memory, and data processing units. Optoelectronic synaptic devices constructed using 2D Van der Waals heterostructures exhibit the capability to perform light perception, signal processing and data memory simultaneously. Organic optoelectronic materials, such as chiral organic semiconducting materials and near-infrared photodetectors, are important for polarization imaging and machine vision at night. Furthermore, organic mixed ionic-electronic charge conductors (OMIECs) are ideal electronic materials for developing artificial circuits, as they can emulate the ion-mediated mechanisms of biological synapses.
This Special Issue will focus on all types of sensing devices, including advanced materials, structures, and prospects. We aim to address new trends in materials, theory, and applications of recent optoelectronic sensing devices or systems.

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.
