Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the world continues to face the challenges of climate change and resource depletion, the demand for sustainable and renewable energy solutions has become increasingly critical. Advanced manufacturing plays a pivotal role in the development and deployment of these technologies. This Special Issue aims to enhance knowledge by exploring the latest advancements at the intersection of manufacturing and renewable energy.
This Special Issue covers a broad spectrum of topics related to innovative manufacturing methods, materials, and systems that contribute to the development of efficient, cost-effective, and green energy technologies.
We welcome the submission of original research articles and reviews. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Sustainable materials and green manufacturing processes;
- Advanced manufacturing techniques for energy materials;
- Additive manufacturing and 3D printing for renewable energy applications;
- Smart manufacturing systems and Industry 4.0 applications in sustainable and renewable energy technologies;
- Manufacturing innovation for energy devices (e.g., solar cells, batteries, supercapacitors, thermoelectric generators, and triboelectric nanogenerators);
- Reviews of the state of the art in advanced manufacturing for sustainable and renewable energy technologies, including current knowledge and research needs.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
