Advanced sensing materials are key to the development of various sensors such as gas sensors, optical sensors, etc. Sensors require lower power consumption, higher sensitivity, better selectivity, lower complexity, higher throughput, and higher cost-effectiveness, which represents a new challenge in the development of sensing materials.
Developments in both sensing materials (to sense defects, porosity, channel traffics, and hybrids) and data processing (such as pattern recognition), together with newly emerging in-situ measurements and theoretical calculations (such as binding energy, charge transfer) have all contributed to the continued development of high performances sensors. Notably, sensors based on novel nanomaterials exhibit ultrahigh detectives, specificity, low-power consumption, multi-functionality, and miniaturized size.
This Research Topic is aimed at publishing research and development in the field of advanced sensing materials, including the design and synthesis of materials, novel processing strategies, key performance studies, and the fundamental sensing mechanisms of advanced sensing materials, as well as simulation research. Papers devoted to applications of novel sensors involving advanced sensing materials are also welcome. We welcome both original research and review articles. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
• Low dimensional nanomaterials with novel sensing properties
• Fabrication and processing of nanosensors
• Nanomaterial hybrids/heterostructures with enhanced sensing properties, such as selectivity, operating temperature, sensitivity, frequency response, linearity range, stability, or accuracy Integration of sensing nanomaterials onto transducers platforms
• Theoretical calculation and simulation on sensing nanomaterials/sensors
• New applications of nanostructured gas sensors
• Spectroscopic gas sensors (near-infrared, mid-infrared, Raman scattering and terahertz spectroscopies, etc.)
• Optical gas sensors, thermometric gas sensors, crystal microbalance gas sensors, cantilever gas sensors, field-effect gas sensors, etc.
