Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Connecting billions of devices, the Internet of Things (IoT) has brought us into a new era of ubiquitous computing, sensing, and communication. While a great number of distributed IoT sensors demonstrate great potential in a variety of applications, generating sustainable power supply for these sensors is challenge, since chemical batteries require regular maintenance or replacement. Therefore, developing battery-free technologies for IoT sensors will pave the way for the future innovation of IoT systems. This trajectory calls for the development of various technologies, including energy harvesting, low-power IoT sensors, low-power computing and communication algorithms, efficient power management methods, emerging IoT applications, etc. However, challenges are emerging in the above technology areas. Advanced technologies must be created to address sustainable power supply issues related to IoT sensors.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the advances in cutting-edge technologies that may enable battery-free IoT sensors and systems in the future. Original and review articles discussing the latest research into battery-free IoT sensors are welcome. The focus of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following areas:
- Energy harvesting systems for IoT sensors;
- Theoretical modeling of energy harvesting systems;
- Low-power and efficient interfaces or power management circuits;
- Novel IoT sensors for battery-free IoT systems;
- Wireless-sensor networks;
- Intelligence algorithms for IoT applications;
- Low-power computing and communication methods for IoT systems;
- Applications of battery-free IoT 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. Electronics 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 2400 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.
