Research on Thermal Management of Electronic Equipment and Energy Storage Devices

Dear Colleagues,

All electronic equipment and energy storage devices generate excess heat and thus require thermal management to improve their reliability and prevent premature failure. Thermal management covers all the technical solutions for heat generation, control, and dissipation. Various techniques for thermal management have been developed over the past few decades, including traditional ones (such as forced-air systems and fans, cold-plate cooling, heat pipes, and heat sinks) and novel ones (such as compact heat exchangers, immersion cooling, thermoelectric cooling, and phase change material), as well as recently developed ones (such as micro-/nano-technology and advanced materials). However, there are still some limitations and challenges in this field.

This Special Issue aims to provide a collection of the latest research and findings in the field of thermal management of electronic equipment and energy storage devices. Both research and review papers are welcome. Potential research topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

(1) High/ultra-high heat flux dissipation;

(2) Phase change heat transfer and related thermal control devices;

(3) Thermal interface material for thermal management;

(4) Micro- and nano-level advances in thermal management;

(5) Heat transfer and thermal management in Li-ion cells and battery packs.

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.
