Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymer-based materials have played an important role in the emerging wearable and portable energy conversion devices for supplying renewable and clean power. This Special Issue entitled “Polymer-Based Energy Conversion Materials” aims to collect papers on the applications of polymer-based materials in the fields of thermoelectrics, triboelectric nanogenerators, piezoelectric nanogenerators, solar cells, moist-electric generation, self-powered sensors, and other related energy conversion materials and devices. Both research articles and reviews are welcome.
