Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues，
Since the introduction of triboelectric nanogenerators in 2012, people have opened up a new path in the field of energy harvesting. The energy harvesting object of triboelectric devices is low-frequency, high entropy, and distributed energy, which is also difficult to achieve in traditional electromagnetic power generation. Due to the abundant consumption of mechanical energy, triboelectric devices have many advantages, including the wide availability and selectivity of materials, relatively simple device configurations, and low-cost processing; they are undergoing explosive development. In the field of mechanical energy harvesting, triboelectric devices usually have the characteristics of small size, high efficiency, and strong flexibility, which can provide sustainable energy for microelectronic devices and further achieve large-scale applications through array technology. In addition to the field of mechanical energy collection, triboelectric devices have also been widely applied, e.g., touch sensors, self-powered monitoring systems, environmental applications, medical applications, etc. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to present research papers, brief newsletters, and commentary articles, with a focus on the development of new methods for frictional electrical components and their applications in microelectronic devices.

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.
