Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Vibration energy harvesters have recently attracted substantial attention given their potential application in self-powered systems. Among various vibration sources, kinetic energy at low frequency abundantly exists in ambient environment generated by human, animal, and natural activities. However, it is a big challenge to harvest energy from kinetic energy at low frequency, especially for human motion and ocean wave, because the harvested power is generally proportional to the square of frequency. Under this circumstance, many researchers have paid their efforts on this area; however, there are still some scarcities in the device’s size, structure complexity, and energy conversion efficiency, which should be further improved.
Accordingly, this Special Issue aims to showcase research papers, short communications, and review articles outlining recent progress and innovative approaches for kinetic energy harvesters at low frequency. The applications of energy harvester at low frequency, such as the self-powered sensing system, are also welcome and strongly encouraged.
We look forward to receiving your contributions!

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. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
