Dear Colleagues,
Thermal analysis is a powerful technique used to study the thermal behavior of materials under different conditions. It involves the measurement and analysis of changes in temperature, heat flow, and other related properties of a material as a function of time and temperature. This analysis plays a significant role in various fields, such as material science, engineering, and chemistry, as it helps us to understand the thermal stability, performance, and behavior of materials. It provides critical insights into the physical and chemical changes that occur in materials as a result of temperature changes, which is important for designing and optimizing various industrial processes. Overall, thermal analysis is an essential tool for researchers and engineers to develop innovative materials and products with improved performance and reliability.
Renewable energy studies are focused on exploring and developing alternative sources of energy that are sustainable and environmentally friendly. This field encompasses a wide range of research areas, such as solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and bioenergy, among others. The goal is to find ways to harness these energy sources efficiently and economically to reduce our reliance on nonrenewable resources like fossil fuels. Renewable energy studies are critical for the development of a sustainable energy future and the mitigation of climate change. They involve the development of new technologies, processes, and materials to improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of renewable energy sources. This includes energy storage systems, energy efficiency measures, and alternative fuels. With continued research and development, renewable energy has the potential to provide a clean, reliable, and affordable source of energy for generations to come.

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.
