Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the last 40 years, nanotechnology has enabled many important scientific discoveries as materials at the nanoscale present fascinating properties compared to their bulk counterparts. Nanotechnology has been instrumental in achieving higher efficiency in energy systems, allowing better utilization of incident power with tunable optical, electrical, mechanical, and magnetic properties. These nanomaterials and nanostructures have been fabricated with various techniques, from bottom-up approaches such as chemical synthesis to top-down approaches such as lithography. Developments in spectroscopy and theoretical modeling techniques have further pushed the boundaries of nanomaterial exploration.
This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent advancements in material development, design, experimentation, theory, and modeling of energy systems based on nanotechnological research and development.
Topics of interest for publication include but are not limited to the application of nanotechnology for:
- Fuel cells;
- Solar cells;
- Batteries;
- Steam generation;
- Waste heat recovery;
- High-efficiency lighting;
- Hydrogen generation;
- Heating and cooling buildings;
- Energy storage;
- Piezoelectricity.

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.
