Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the development of technology and industry, the issue of energy consumption has become increasingly serious. The recovery and utilization of waste-heat energy have attracted increasing attention from multiple fields. Semiconductor thermoelectric generator technology is a new type of power generation technology, and its use in waste-heat energy recovery and utilization can improve energy efficiency. The working principle of a semiconductor thermoelectric generator is based on three basic concepts: the Seebeck, Peltier, and Thomson effects. Compared with other power generation methods, this process is noiseless and has no wear and medium leakage. In addition, the module has the advantages of small volume, light weight, convenient movement, and long service life. Thus, it is highly suitable for waste-heat energy recovery and utilization systems, especially for low-grade energy utilization. In this Special Issue, we aim to study the application and optimization of small-scale thermoelectric generators, as well as the combination and application of thermoelectric and cross-field technology.

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.
