Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Thermoelectrics could realize heat–electricity conversion, which is important for carbon neutralization. However, the key challenge that researchers face is the electrical–thermal transport decoupling. And for practical use, the device construction and optimization decide the future of the thermoelectric community.
This Special Issue will focus on “High-Performance Thermoelectric Materials and Devices for Energy Conversion”, which includes reports on new transport mechanisms, strategies for carrier–phonon decoupling, methods of constructing high-performance thermoelectric devices, low-dimensional thermoelectrics, and new types of thermoelectrics. New concepts, promising materials, and insightful results are welcome.
It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.

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. Materials 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.
