Novel Nanomaterials Applied in Energy Devices and IOTs

Dear Colleagues,

Since the industrial revolution of the 21st century, the global demand for energy has exceeded that of agricultural and industrial societies over thousands of years. Today, all types of devices, from mobile phones and laptops to industrial equipment and public transportation, require an energy supply to provide electricity. With the continuous advancement of technology, portable electronic products are being developed with miniaturization and high efficiency in mind, driving the continuous reduction in semiconductor components and improvement in efficiency. With the arrival of the era of environmental protection and low-carbon goals, self-powered microdevices can reduce not only the demand for energy but also the degree of environmental pollution they emit.

Solar cells, nanogenerators, wearable components, and their applications are crucial for modern-day human life. This Special Issue seeks papers on new research findings in novel interdisciplinary fields that support green energy, self-powered devices, and nanogenerators. Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Preparation and application of green energy nanomaterials;
• Development of wearable components;
• Self-powered nanogenerator applications for novel technology;
• Advanced materials in triboelectric nanogenerator;
• Solar cell, battery, and electric device modeling;
• Portable electronics for IOT fields;
• Electrical performances of nanogenerators in ultrasonic waves;
• Machine diagnostics and reliability;
• Information systems, computer networking, and the Internet;
