Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Energy is an important issue in civilization. The requirement of clean and green energy technology is essential for global sustainability. Atmospheric pressure plasma technology has been demonstrated as an energy-saving economic technology for materials processing and device fabrication. It has been extensively applied in the fabrication processes of solar cells, supercapacitors, batteries, redox flow cells, fuel cells, hydrogen generation devices, piezoelectric energy generators, and triboelectric nanogenerators. To support the continuing development of this fast-growing research topic, we are organizing a Special Issue of Materials to invite researchers worldwide to showcase their research results. Regular length papers, short communications, and review articles on atmospheric pressure plasma technology applied to energy harvesting and storage devices are invited.

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.
