Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Triboelectric nanogenerators convert the mechanical energy generated from environmental movements, such as body motions or ambient vibrations, into electrical energy through the triboelectric effect, providing a sustainable and autonomous energy solution for sensor applications.
This Special Issue aims to provide an overview of the design, fabrication, and optimization of flexible sensors that can be integrated into wearable devices, smart textiles, and etc. These self-powered sensors are poised to revolutionize fields such as healthcare monitoring, environmental sensing, and human–machine interfaces by offering continuous, real-time data acquisition without the need for batteries or wired power supplies.
We seek contributions encompassing, but not limited to, advancements in flexible sensor fabrication techniques based on triboelectric nanogenerators, novel materials for flexible sensing applications, innovative approaches to energy harvesting and storage in flexible sensors.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2900 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.
