Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to extend an invitation to you to contribute to an important field of study, namely the transfer of heat and the generation of electricity via thermoelectric effects. This interdisciplinary field of study connects thermal dynamics with electrical engineering, thereby providing a platform for addressing global energy challenges and fostering technological innovation.
This topic is significant for two reasons. Firstly, it offers a distinctive prospect for pioneering research. Secondly, it addresses a pivotal issue in the domain of thermal and electrical engineering. The transfer of heat is of critical importance to a number of applications, including climate control systems and industrial processes. Furthermore, it is of vital importance in thermoelectric systems. Your research could facilitate the discovery of novel techniques to augment heat transfer efficacy and enhance thermal management.
The utilisation of thermoelectric generators enables the conversion of waste heat into electrical energy, thereby enhancing energy efficiency and reducing the environmental impact. By investigating innovative materials and TEG/TEC designs, there is the potential to advance this technology and expand its applications, including waste heat recovery, remote power generation, and thermal management.
Submissions on a wide range of topics within this field are encouraged, including, but not limited to:
- The field of thermoelectric materials.
- The exploration of novel techniques and technologies to improve heat conduction, convection, and radiation.
- Presentation of new designs, performance analyses, and strategies for optimising thermoelectric generators and coolers.
- TEG/TEC system design and optimisation.
- Sharing of practical implementations, real-world applications, and case studies related to heat transfer and TEGs.
- The development of theoretical frameworks and computational models that advance our knowledge of heat transfer and thermoelectric effects

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. Energies 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.
