Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Environmental energy harvesting has attracted great interest in recent years due to the growing importance of self-powered electronics for the future information and communications technology. Challenges in the field lie in achieving stable and continuous energy generation with high efficiency by harvesting intermittent and fluctuating environmental energy sources. Therefore, this Special Issue is intended for the presentation of new ideas and experimental results in the field of environmental energy harvesting from materials, structures, and devices and its practical use for self-powered electronics.
Areas relevant to environmental energy harvesting and its application for self-powered electronics include but are not limited to piezoelectric materials and piezoelectric nanogenerators, piezotronics, piezophototronics, triboelectric materials and nanogenerators, emerging 3rd-generation solar cells and their building blocks, including quantum dots, perovskites, organics, etc. Other types of environmental energy harvesting for self-powered electronics, such as thermoelectric and pyroelectric devices, are also topics of interest.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
