Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Human network complexity is intensifying and the cost of all the entangled information is an increasing energy demand. Knowing how to extract the necessary energy and how to use it is the definition of a human survival threshold. These are today’s challenges, which are reflected in many fields of research and global industries. This Special Issue on ‘’Energy Storage and Harvest Devices for the Next Generation’’ of Applied Sciences is dedicated to on-going research, particularly next-generation technologic solutions, on both stationary and mobile energy storage and harvest applications.  We therefore invite you to submit your research on emergent energy storage technologies. Particular emphasis will be placed on all solid-state energy storage devices, supercapacitors and thermal management systems. Promising energy harvest devices based on thermoelectricity, magnetocaloric effect, hydroelectricity, piezoelectricity, or triboelectricity will also be prioritized.

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.
