Oxide-Based Sensitive Materials for Gas Detection

Dear Colleagues,

Gas detection is a critical aspect of ensuring safety and preventing hazardous situations in various industries and applications. This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in oxide-based sensitive materials for gas detection. The Special Issue will cover various aspects related to oxide-based gas sensing, including the design, synthesis, and characterization of sensing materials. Researchers are encouraged to contribute papers focused on the performance evaluation, morphology, surface modification, and functionalization of oxide-based materials for gas detection.

Topics that will be covered in this Special Issue include but are not limited to:

• Design and synthesis of novel oxide-based sensing materials for gas detection;
• Synthesis and fabrication techniques of oxide-based sensitive materials;
• Tailoring the morphology and structure of oxide-based materials for enhanced gas-sensing properties;
• Characterization techniques for oxide-based gas sensors;
• Structural and morphological characterization of oxide-based sensitive materials;
• Surface modification and functionalization strategies to improve sensitivity and selectivity;
• Performance evaluation and comparison of oxide-based gas sensors;

Applications of oxide-based gas sensors in environmental monitoring, industrial safety, healthcare, and other fields.

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
