Nanocomposites for Energy Harvesting

Dear Colleagues,

The development of low- and zero-carbon technologies is currently an important mission being pursued by humankind, and countries around the world are accelerating the development of renewable and clean energy. Currently, the development of energy harvesting devices such as solar cells, thermoelectric devices, and piezoelectric devices is being actively researched, and breakthroughs have been made in wearable and flexible devices. In addition, energy storage devices such as batteries and supercapacitors are being actively researched to increase capacitance and stability.

In this Special Issue, we will cover the development of nanocomposites using polymers, organic materials, nanomaterials (0, 1, 2, 3D), quantum dots, inorganic crystals, organic–inorganic hybrid materials and their utilization in various energy harvesting applications. The scope of this Special Issue is not limited to this category, and we would like to include research on the development of new materials and devices for energy harvesting.

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. 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 2400 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.
