Advanced Thin Film Materials for Energy Conversion and Storage Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Due to the increasing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly energy conversion and storage applications, including fuel cells, batteries, solar cells, thermal energy storage, and thermoelectric generators, etc., the research and development of cost-effective and efficient materials are essential for the sustainable development of energy and power applications.

Thin film materials used in energy conversion and storage provide opportunities to improve the performance, density, and transportation of renewable resources.

This Special Issue on “Advanced Thin Film Materials for Energy Conversion and Storage Applications” aims to present the current state of the art and identify future prospects in the research, design, and application of advanced energy materials. This Special Issue aims to focus on the advances in this attractive field of research, encouraging a multidisciplinary approach to the subject.

It is our pleasure to invite you to submit your work to this Special Issue. Research papers, reviews, and communications are welcome.

Prof. Dr. Haochun Zhang
Guest Editor

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.
