Advances in Sustainable Energy Materials and Devices

Dear Colleagues,

Modern human activities are strongly associated with energy availability. However, high demands for energy have exceeded conventional energy resources (such as fossil fuels) and increased pollution, leading to risks centered around greenhouse gas emissions and global poverty. Such challenges stimulate interests in sustainable and clean energy generation and storage systems, which can be envisaged and guided using a variety of materials, resources, and technologies. Some renewable energy harvesting can be designed and implemented using smart techniques and lightweight materials. For instance, batteries can be thermally managed for clean energy storage and smart organic materials can be used for sustainability. Our Special Issue will showcase investigations centered around the development and bridging of sustainable energy technologies. Original research findings in this field will be reviewed and organized to shed light on the benefits of these recent developments, and to provide a critical analysis of current state-of-the-art technologies. All articles featured in this Special Issue will be free to view to maximize readability and benefit the public.

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. Materials 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.
