Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Driven by the global transition toward sustainable and decentralized energy systems, developing advanced materials capable of efficiently storing or converting energy has been a hot topic in the past few decades.
Among the most promising classes of materials are organic–inorganic composites, which synergistically combine the flexibility, functional tunability, and low processing temperature of organic materials with the high thermal and chemical stability, superior electrical and thermal conductivity, and mechanical strength of inorganic components.
This Special Issue, “Innovative Organic–Inorganic Composites for Energy Storage and Conversion,” brings together cutting-edge research in innovative compositions and architecture of organic-inorganic composites for energy storage and conversion applications. The Issue highlights original research articles, short communications, and reviews that address the following topics:
- Electrostatic energy storage materials;
- Nanogenerator-based wearable electronic devices;
- Thermal management materials capable of passive and active temperature regulation;
- Novel compositions and morphologies of hybrid composites;
- Theoretical modeling and simulation to guide composites material design.

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. Inorganics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2200 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.
