High-Performance Thermoelectric Materials

Dear Colleagues,

Thermoelectric materials have attracted vast attention over the last decades, and research has recently flourished with the emergence of novel concepts of band engineering, nanostructuring, and discoveries of various novel materials. Thermoelectric devices, allowing for the solid-state and reversible conversion between heat and electricity, offer numerous advantages over competing technologies in the fields of temperature control and thermal energy harvesting. The thermoelectric performance of devices depends primarily on the type of materials used, and on their properties. This Special Issue of Materials aims at gathering full papers and comprehensive review articles that cover the whole spectrum of thermoelectric materials with high performance. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Chalcogenide
• Skutterudite
• Silicide
• Tetrahedrite
• Half-Heusler
• Clathrate
• Pnictide
• Zintl
• Organic
• Low-Dimensional Materials
• Novel Materials

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
