Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Piezoelectric sensors are devices that use the piezoelectric effect to measure the electric potential caused by the application of a mechanical force to a piezoelectric material. The combination of piezoelectric materials with nanotechnology, such as nanowires, nanosheets or nanoplates, allows piezoelectric sensors and electronic microchips mutually compatible, flexible and wearable, and can simultaneously realize various digital, electronic and energy storage functions. Due to their highly efficient electromechanical conversion, easy implementation, and self-powering nature, these devices allow a large number of innovative medical applications in areas such as active sensing, electrical stimulation therapy and passive bio-mechanical energy harvesting of the human body. In the past decade, the piezoelectric sensors have experienced rapid progress and attracted widespread interest. The present Special Issue on “Piezoelectric sensors” may become a status reports summarizing the progress achieved in the last five years.

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. Crystals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
