Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Despite the natural cycle of climate change being an unavoidable reality, history has told us that when past civilizations overstretched themselves or pushed the consumption of natural resources to the edge, the consequences of climate change soon became amplified. We are in a critical period full of challenges and opportunities to address climate change by developing environmentally responsible and sustainable energy technologies. The applications of advanced functional thin films, ranging from the quantum level to nano- and microscale, from inorganic metal oxides to conductive polymers, have been driving the rapid development of energy-saving technologies as well as clean and renewable energy production, storage and conversion in the past decade.
This Special Issue aims to collect fundamental and applied original research and review articles on advanced thin films and their roles in reliable renewable energy devices and/or systems, including but not limited to supercapacitors, flow batteries, fuel cells, electrolysis, solar fuel generators, triboelectricity, etc.
