Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the global push toward cleaner and more efficient technologies accelerates, advanced heat and mass-transfer strategies have become vital to the success of next-generation energy and information systems. Innovations such as microchannel heat exchangers, phase-change thermal storage, and nanofluid-based systems markedly improve solar–thermal conversion, battery thermal regulation, and green hydrogen production. By minimizing thermal losses, reducing carbon emissions, and extending device longevity, these technologies offer essential pathways for large-scale renewable energy deployment, underpinning the development of low-carbon and resilient energy infrastructures, and playing a pivotal role in the transition to sustainable energy futures.
This Special Issue will collect recent studies on the optimization of thermal transport in advanced heat and mass-transfer technologies for sustainable energy systems, which are key to reducing energy loss, boosting performance, and significantly lowering our carbon footprint.
Topics covered include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Multiscale heat and mass-transport in clean energy systems;
- High-performance thermal management for next-generation electronic systems;
- Radiative cooling devices and solar photovoltaics;
- Mass-transport and phase-change mechanisms in energy-storage materials;
- Coupled heat, mass, and charge transport in sustainable energy systems.
We look forward to your contributions.

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.
