Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Energy conservation and efficient utilization are crucial topics for research and industry to alleviate the current energy and environmental problems. This Special Issue will consider a wide range of scientific and technological research on highly efficient energy utilization and conversion technologies, energy harvesting and waste heat recovery technologies, and advanced energy storage technologies. We would like to invite submissions to this Special Issue to collect the latest developments and applications of energy conservation and efficient utilization for thermal energy in different fields. Original research and review articles are welcome. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Enhanced heat transfer theory and applications;
- Highly efficient heat exchange device design;
- Energy harvesting and waste heat recovery;
- Thermal energy conversion theory and applications;
- Advanced thermodynamic systems and other thermal energy utilization systems;
- Sensible heat storage and latent heat storage;
- Thermochemical heat storage;
- Advanced thermal management for batteries, electronics, etc.

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.
