Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid proliferation of wireless sensor networks, wearable electronics, and the Internet of Things has created a strong imperative for low-power, self-sustained devices capable of operating continuously without frequent battery changes. The Journal of Low Power Electronics and Applications provides a communication platform for innovative research in the field of low-power sensing technologies and lightweight energy harvesting. This Special Issue, titled “Low Power Sensing and Energy Harvesting for Self-Sustained Electronics”, aims to explore multidisciplinary research that combines lightweight energy harvesting technologies, such as triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), piezoelectric and hybrid harvesters, with wireless sensor networks, intelligent systems, and wearable electronics.
This Special Issue covers, but is not limited to, the design, development, characterization and application of low-power sensing devices, flexible and textile-based energy harvesters, and self-sustained wireless or wearable systems. By bridging the gap between energy harvesting technologies and low-power system design, it will highlight interdisciplinary approaches that drive both technological innovation and sustainable electronic solutions.
We welcome submissions of original research articles and review papers from fields such as electronics, materials science, energy harvesting, sensors technology, and system integration. This Special Issue provides a comprehensive platform to showcase cutting-edge research at the intersection of low-power electronics and energy harvesting, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and inspiring future innovations in self-sustained systems.
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions.

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. Journal of Low Power Electronics and Applications is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1800 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.
