Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Thermoelectrics is a promising technology for harvesting electrical energy both from waste heat and solar thermal energy. The thermoelectric performance of a material can be enhanced by controlling the phonon transport without degrading the electron transport. A reliable approach for realizing high thermoelectric performance is through the design of novel materials and the development of hybrid nanostructures. The primary objective of this Special Issue is to publish the recent developments in novel semiconductor nanostructures, 2D materials, hybrid nanostructures and flexible thermoelectric materials. Submissions of both research articles and review articles are welcome.

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. Materials 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.
