Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent decades, attention to the environment and climate change has become more and more marked, due to the upcoming targets imposed by the European Parliament and Council, to guide society toward a low-carbon future. Thermal energy storage (TES) represents one of the highest potential solutions for a large number of benefits. Low energy costs, higher air quality for the decrease of polluting emissions, reduction of the greenhouse effect, saving of fossil fuel stocks, and leveling of the mismatch between supply and demand are some of the best-known advantages. In this Special Issue, dedicated to new trends in thermal energy storage technologies, original research papers, as well as reviews, are welcome. The aim is to collect contributions on sensible, latent, and thermochemical heat storage systems and materials, employed at low, medium, and/or high-temperature TES for heating and cooling. Studies on waste heat recovery technologies are also appreciated. In such a context, particular consideration will be given to research development in order to increase the applicability of TES technology.
This Special Issue will provide the scientific community with a thorough overview of current research on innovative thermal energy storage materials and systems and their application fields.

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.
