Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Energy harvesting converts a small amount of available energy in the environment into usable electrical energy. Whether or not the harvested energy is large enough to operate a system by itself, an efficient energy harvesting circuit allows for extending the lifetime of a battery and reduces the operation and management cost required for replacing a battery. In addition, energy harvesting can be a crucial power source when a system is designed for ultra-low power applications. We are interested in articles that achieve state-of-the-art performances either in increasing harvesting efficiency or in lowering the energy requirements of a system. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Enhancing the conversion efficiency of various energy sources;
- Circuit techniques that enable a conventional battery-powered system to be a batteryless one;
- Low-cost small-size batteryless IoT 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 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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
