Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Thermoelectric materials can generate electrical energy from temperature gradients or temperature gradients from electrical energy. In recent years, many efforts have been made to improve the thermoelectric performance of materials, which is evaluated with the dimensionless figure of merit (zT) in many aspects. This Special Issue is dedicated to recent advances in the electronic, thermal, and thermoelectric transport properties of chalcogenide alloys. The development of the microstructure, composition, and synthesis of chalcogenide-based thermoelectrics, and the investigation of the composition–property relationship, present opportunities to find new thermoelectric materials based on chalcogenide alloys.
This Special Issue will present the most recent advances on the thermoelectric properties of chalcogenide alloys. Studies on thermoelectric-related properties including electronic and thermal transport properties of chalcogenide-related alloys are welcome, as are original articles, communications, and reviews.

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. Inorganics 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 2700 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.
