Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ions as energy carriers can convert the thermal energy into electricity by harvesting the low-grade heat dissipated in the environment, which could be considered as a new and promising technology in the field of energy conversion. In contrast to the conventional semi-conductive thermoelectric materials, the higher thermo-induced voltage for the ionic thermoelectric materials is attractive in realizing the high operation voltage of sensors and/or electric devices in the small temperature differences near room temperature. A series of studies on liquid-based ionic thermoelectric conversion as well as quasi-solid state ionic thermoelectric gels should be included in this area. In this Special Issue, we will cover all relevant aspects of using ions as carries for energy conversion, facing a broad range of readers. Submissions of original research articles and critical reviews are encouraged.

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.
