Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Energy harvesting is a groundbreaking advancement in sustainable technology, drawing significant global interest from both academic and industrial sectors. There has been extensive research into harvesting energy from renewable sources, vehicles, marine environments, and thermal processes. Despite this, challenges remain in optimizing these technologies for practical and efficient use in real-world conditions. Addressing complex scenarios such as varying environmental conditions, integration with existing systems, and achieving cost-effective solutions continues to be a major obstacle.
This Special Issue is dedicated to advancing technologies for energy harvesting, storage, and management. We invite researchers to contribute their insights, ranging from theoretical innovations to practical implementations.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Innovations in renewable design, dynamics, and controls (solar, wind, etc.);
- Advanced vehicle energy harvesting technologies;
- Marine energy harvesting techniques (ocean, tidal, wave energy);
- Thermal energy harvesting and heat recovery systems;
- Integration of energy harvesting/storage/management systems with smart grids;
- Novel materials and methods for efficient energy conversion;
- Real-world applications and case studies of energy harvesting devices, storage, and management system reviews;
- Economic and environmental impacts of energy harvesting and storage technologies.
Your contributions will be crucial in shaping the future of sustainable energy solutions, offering significant benefits to both industry and academia.

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. Electronics 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.
