Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Using portable electronic devices in everyday human life is increasing day by day. To power these devices, we need to recharge the battery every time. There is lot of abundant energy around us which can be used for this purpose by converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. Piezoelectric nanogenerators made of piezoelectric materials are particularly suitable for this, as they participate in this energy conversion process and help us to get enough power. In this process, electronic devices can be self-powered. Utilizing this advantage, piezoelectric nanogenerators can be used in different applications. They can be used in self-powered mechanical energy harvesting, human health monitoring, human motion sensors, wearable sensors, gas sensors, pacemakers, pH sensors, electronic skin, and much more. There is lot of ongoing research by many research groups all over the world in this field which opens many new research paths if piezoelectric materials can be used to make hybrid composites with other material with different functionality. These composites are especially useful for multifunctional applications. This issue will focus on piezoelectric nanogenerators and their applications in many directions to contribute to and broaden this research field.

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. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
