High-Efficiency and Low-Emission Internal Combustion Engine Technologies

Dear Colleagues,

The Guest Editors are inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Energies on the subject area of “High-Efficiency and Low-Emission Internal Combustion Engine Technologies”. Efficiency improvement and emission-control techniques are important for the sustainable development of the internal combustion engine industry. There have been many emerging techniques for injection and combustion systems and aftertreatment systems in recent years. Moreover, new alternative fuels such as hydrogen and ammonia are also interesting topics for the future regarding near-zero-emission engines.

This Special Issue will deal with technology progress and novel ideas for the efficiency improvement and emission control of spark-ignition and compression-ignition internal combustion engines. The topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:

• The Atkinson cycle;
• New concepts in combustion;
• Supercritical fuel spray;
• Hydrogen fuel;
• Ammonia combustion;
• Nanocoating;
• Electronic control;
• Thermal management;
• Emission control;
• Waste heat recovery.

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-anonymized 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.
