Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Guest Editor is inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Energies on the subject of “Advanced Techniques for Thermoelectric Generator and Fuel Cell Systems”. Thermoelectrics, which converts heat into electricity and vice versa by utilising the Seebeck effect and Peltier effect, could play an important role in global sustainable energy solutions. Currently, studies focus on the thermoelectric structure, figure of merit of thermoelectric materials, and systems designed to enhance devices' performances. Furthermore, to address the requirements of shorter product development cycles and reduced development costs, while boosting power density, efficiency, service life and safety, it is necessary to rely on advanced simulation models in the development process of fuel cells, their components, and fuel-cell-based systems.
This Special Issue will deal with novel optimization and control techniques for Thermoelectric Generator and Fuel Cell Systems to provide an answer to these challenges. This Special Issue will focus on, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Promising thermoelectric materials;
- Technical studies of thermoelectric generator and cooler;
- Multistage structure optimization;
- Hybrid thermoelectric system;
- All types of fuel cells
- Fuel-cell-based systems
- High efficiency application;
- Research/technological challenges;
- Advanced model parametrization tools.

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.
