Harvesting Electromagnetic Fields with Nanomaterials from Microwaves to Ultraviolet

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is dedicated to showcasing the implications of nanomaterials in harvesting electromagnetic waves in various ranges, i.e., from microwaves to ultraviolet waves. Depending on the electromagnetic bandwidth, there is a wealth of nanomaterials that can be used to accomplish this target, e.g., oxides and ferroelectrics with a thickness of a few nanometers, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and molybdenum disulphide, as well as many other 2D materials thanks to their unique physical properties. In the future, these tiny objects could produce a revolution in the harvesting of energy originating from the ambient electromagnetic fields which surround us, namely the Sun, heat, or the Earth itself. Therefore, this Special Issue is of great importance, and your contributions are expected to showcase the state of the art of this 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. 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.
