Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Thermal energy storage (TES) is an important technology that enhances energy efficiency, improves renewable energy utilization, and mitigates the mismatch between energy supply and demand. By storing excess thermal energy for later use, TES enables more effective energy management in renewable energy systems, industries, buildings, and power grids. However, developing efficient TES systems requires the balancing of costs, performance, and environmental impact. A comprehensive understanding of TES characteristics across various applications, heat transfer mechanisms, thermal properties of storage media, and enhancement techniques is essential for advancing the field.
This Special Issue welcome both experimental and theoretical studies on TES. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Thermal energy storage systems;
- Application of TES in electric vehicles, electronic devices, buildings, and power systems;
- Thermal energy storage media and materials;
- Heat transfer mechanisms in TES systems;
- Enhancement techniques for improving TES efficiency;
- The integration of TES with other energy systems;
- Thermal energy management strategies using TES.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
