Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Interest in materials used for energy production and applications in alternative energy technologies is growing steadily, and this trend will only intensify due to global energy issues.
Nowadays, a lot of attention is focused on ecology and environmental protection. It is due both to people’s growing consciousness and to the increasingly tight regulations concerning energy safeguarding. The ecological aspect is not only the harmony with surroundings or use of renewable energy sources such as the sun, wind or water; it is also the limitation of pollution of the natural environment at each stage of the product life cycles—introduction, growth, maturity, and decline—as well as the limitation of a negative impact on human health. Applied materials should be free of toxins and other compounds dangerous to people.
It is important to emphasize the role of current developments in the broadly understood energy sector from the point of view of innovative materials with new techniques that include polymer nanocomposites with intelligent behavior and the possibility of their use in energy applications; carbon nanotubes used for energy harvesting and storage, for example, in photovoltaic cells and, above all, modern building materials that save energy, i.e., are low-processed, with low-embedded energy, which can be achieved through the use of raw materials of plant origin, industrial waste or recycled materials.

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. Energies 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.
