Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Among the energy-harvesting devices, the triboelectric ones have great potential to convert environmental stimuli into usable electrical power, which can be utilized in various fields, including human–machine interfaces, soft robotics and internet-of-things. Because of the diverse merits including simple preparation process, low cost, and high performance, the triboelectric devices play a vital role in the development of self-powered devices for direct detection of bio-signals responsive to different micromotions, and the device operation by a capacitor stored from the mechanical stimuli, which can be implanted anywhere on the body or cloth. In recent years, significant advancements have been achieved in the development of effective triboelectric materials and novel triboelectric application.
This Special Issue aims to explore the latest research and developments in triboelectric materials as well as highlight their applications in different fields. We encourage submissions that focus on functional triboelectric materials and characterization, advanced fabrication techniques, and novel triboelectric applications. Manuscripts presenting experimental studies, theoretical analyses, modeling approaches, and advanced applications are also welcome.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Novel material designs for triboelectric performances;
- Flexible and wearable triboelectric applications;
- Integration of triboelectric devices into practical applications;
- Next-generation triboelectric applications.
This Special Issue cordially invites researchers to share their expertise and insights, which we believe will play a crucial role in advancing the practical applications of triboelectric materials, thereby paving the way for a greener and more sustainable future.

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. Materials 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.
