Broadband and Higher Stability Triboelectric Nanogenerators and Smart Sensors System

Dear Colleagues,

Broadband triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have become a promising candidate for the power supply of mobile devices and smart sensors systems owing to their simple preparation as well as high instantaneous power. TENGs can be widely harvested from environmental mechanical energy sources, such as wind, ocean wave, river flow, and biomechanical energy in our living environment. Additionally, developing smart sensors, including self-powered and MEMS sensors, are vital for the Internet of Things, wearable electronics, and sensor networks, which is a major driving force for the development of the modern world. This Special Issue will publish papers that reflect new research and innovations in the area of broadband triboelectric nanogenerators and smart sensors, that include, but are not limited to, the following main topics: broadband and higher stability triboelectric nanogenerators; wearable self-powered sensors; MEMS sensors; and smart sensor applications systems.

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. 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.
