Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rise of Internet of Things technology, smart monitoring networks play an increasingly important role in engineering and daily life. Self-powered sensors combined with energy harvesters provide reliable solutions for smart monitoring. Therefore, this Special Issue focuses on "Energy Harvesting Self-Powered Sensing and Smart Monitoring", aiming to gather cutting-edge research in this field, covering a wide range of topics from energy harvesting technologies to smart monitoring systems. It is committed to promoting the deep integration of energy harvesting and sensing monitoring technologies and contributing to constructing a sustainable and smart monitoring network.
Possible topics include but are not limited to:
- Multi-source energy harvesting;
- Piezoelectric/friction/electromagnetic energy harvesters;
- Self-powered sensors based on triboelectric nanogenerators;
- Energy harvesters applied to structural health monitoring;
- Self-powered sensors applied to smart agriculture;
- Self-powered sensors applied to smart transportation;
- Self-powered sensors applied to aerospace;
- Energy harvesters applied to human health monitoring;
- Integration of energy harvesting, sensing, and monitoring.

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. Sensors 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 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.
