Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Reducing energy consumption is an important step in promoting energy sustainability and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Waste energy recovery can help to reduce energy consumption and improve energy efficiency, leading to cost savings and environmental benefits. Thermoelectric generation (TEG) has the potential to play a role in advancing energy sustainability by converting waste heat into usable energy, improving energy efficiency, and reducing reliance on finite resources such as fossil fuels. It is a process of converting heat energy directly into electrical energy using a thermoelectric device. TEG has several advantages, including its ability to operate without moving parts, its reliability, and its scalability. Ongoing research and development in thermoelectric materials and device design are aimed at improving the efficiency of thermoelectric generation and expanding its applications, which could make thermoelectric generation a more competitive and sustainable energy source in the future.
To advance the knowledge regarding the most recent technologies applicable in thermoelectric generation, Sustainability, an open-access journal of environmental, cultural, economic, and social sustainability of human beings, is organizing a Special Issue entitled “Energy Sustainability: Advanced Technology of Thermoelectric Generation”. This Special Issue seeks contributions from researchers, industry experts, and academics on the topics addressed below. We therefore invite papers on system design, methodologies, applications, and reviews, etc., that contribute to the advancement of the field of thermoelectric generation, and encourage researchers to share their original works.

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. Sustainability 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.
