Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In today’s IoT-driven society, sensors occupy a vital spot in all sectors of activity, ensuring the effective assessment of critical operational characteristics. The focus of this Special Issue is on concrete sensor applications, such as the following: industrial (vital parameter monitoring for process control), environmental (greenhouse gas emissions and air quality monitoring), educational (semiconductor sensor platforms and test benches for sustainable STEM education), and automotive (energy monitoring for efficient power conversion). Papers detailing a wide array of sensor types, specific to these applications, are encouraged. Points of special interest include wide-bandgap semiconductor sensors, materials and coatings for electrochemical sensors, innovative sensing element structures (porous Si/SiC and Si/SiC nanowires), read-out circuits and sensor signal processing techniques. Articles pertaining to analytical/numeric device modeling and sensing mechanism analysis are also welcome. Investigations and predictions on operation limits, characterization and cutting-edge computer-aided modeling for such innovative sensor applications are strongly encouraged.

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.
