Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Energy plays a fundamental role in society, enhancing the quality of life and driving economic, technological, and social developments. Nowadays, ensuring a sustainable future requires a transition toward renewable energy sources. In this context, small-scale energy production from residual sources, such as mechanical vibrations or heat, appears highly promising and requires further research.
This special issue focuses on Thermoelectric Energy Generation (TEG) based on the Seebeck effect to produce energy from residual heat sources. The main objective is to cover new developments in TEG technologies, including experimental, theoretical, and computational aspects.
We welcome your valuable contributions to this field of research. Your participation will not only drive the advancement of science and technology but will also significantly contribute to the pursuit of sustainable solutions for the energy challenges of our time.
Dr. Roberto Palma
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.
