Dear Colleagues,

Since the early 21st century, there has been a remarkable surge in the development of nanogenerators. They are innovative devices designed to harness ambient energies, such as mechanical vibrations, and convert them into electrical power. This transformative trend represents a pivotal shift towards self-sufficient electronics and the reduced dependency on traditional batteries. Additionally, the rise of flexible, self-powered sensors promises innovations in wearables, IoT, and healthcare systems.

This Special Issue of Nanomaterials spotlights the current research trends, from the evolution of hybrid nanogenerators to advances in flexible sensors. We invite diverse submissions, from original research to reviews, encompassing topics like novel fabrication techniques, design optimization, system integration, and real-world applications, to enrich the our collective understanding of nanogenerators and self-powered sensors.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2900 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.
