Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The leading driving force of the new era includes (1) Biotechnology, medical technology, genomics, and synthetic biology, (2) Quantum information science and technology, (3) Advanced energy and industrial efficiency technologies, (4) High-performance computing, semiconductors, and advanced computer hardware and software based on the Chips and Science Act of 2022. Diverse functional materials have been developed, including synthetic, bio-, and/or bio-synthetic materials to advance these fields.
This Special Issue on “Functional Materials for Energy and Electronic Applications” will offer a guide for researchers in the energy and electronic fields based upon functional materials. Functional materials of interest include organic, inorganic, and organic–inorganic hybrids. Manuscripts related to functional synthetic, bio-, and bio-synthetic materials for energy and electronics are also welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Metal-ion batteries;
- Zinc-ion batteries;
- Li-ion batteries;
- All solid-state batteries;
- Hydrogen productions;
- Wearable sensors;
- Neuromorphic computing;
- Multi-valued logic system;
- Memristors.
