Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The efficient management and storage of thermal energy are critical components in the transition towards sustainable energy systems. As the demand for renewable energy sources such as solar and wind continues to grow, the need for advanced thermal management and storage technologies becomes increasingly important. These technologies not only enhance the efficiency and reliability of energy systems, but also play a pivotal role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating climate change.
This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the latest advancements in thermal management and thermal energy storage systems. We invite contributions that explore innovative materials, design methodologies, and applications that address the challenges of thermal energy storage and management.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:
- Phase change materials (PCMs) for thermal energy storage.
- High-temperature sensible and latent heat storage systems.
- Sorption thermal energy storage.
- Thermochemical energy storage.
- Hybrid thermal energy storage solutions.
- Thermal management techniques for renewable energy systems.
- Integration of thermal storage in residential and industrial applications.
- Economic and environmental impacts of thermal energy storage.
- Advances in composite materials and design methodologies for thermal management.
We are particularly interested in research that demonstrates the practical applications of these technologies in managing renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, and their integration into existing energy systems. Studies that provide insights into the economic and environmental benefits of advanced thermal management and storage solutions are also highly encouraged. By bringing together cutting-edge research from across the globe, this Special Issue aims to foster collaboration and innovation in the field of thermal energy management and storage.

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.
