Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanogenerators, which emerged in the scientific community in 2006, have their roots in Maxwell's theory of displacement currents. These devices possess the capability of harnessing mechanical energy from the surrounding environment, thereby bestowing them with the potential to serve as power sources for numerous Internet of Things (IoT) electronics. Moreover, there have been many discoveries and breakthroughs far beyond their original scope, such as piezoelectric nanogenerators, piezotronics, triboelectric nanogenerators, tribotronics, hybrid generators, and self-powered systems. These developments have paved the way for a myriad of applications, encompassing high-entropy energy, self-powered sensors, piezocatalysis, contact-electro-catalysis, medical science, robotics, artificial intelligence, as well as the promising frontier of blue energy.
This Special Issue of Nanomaterials is dedicated to highlighting the cutting-edge advances of nanogenerators, self-powered systems, and related fields. Our objective is to illuminate the frontiers of fundamental technologies while exploring their practical applications. We extend a warm invitation to researchers and scholars to contribute their papers, communications, and review articles. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Nanogenerators;
- Self-powered sensors and systems;
- Piezotronics and semiconductor devices;
- Blue energy.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2900 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.
