From energy generation to transportation, from energy distribution to storage, from semiconductor processing to communications, and from portable devices to data centers, energy consumption has grown to be a major limitation to usability and performance. Therefore, energy-efficient technologies become an active research area motivated by energy necessity and environmental concerns. With energy-efficient technologies, a number of epoch-making technical approaches can be expected. Energy efficiency technologies are affecting all forms of energy conversion and all aspects of life.

Journal of Electronic Science and Technology (JEST) is a peer-reviewed periodical, indexed by Scopus and EI in INSPEC, and also included in DOAJ, CAS, CNKI, Sciencepaper Online, etc.

JEST is soliciting original manuscripts for Special Section on Energy-Efficient Technologies (EET) which appears on JEST periodically. This special section on EET intends to bring together the state-of-art research results and industrial applications of energy-efficient technologies. Authors are invited to submit unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other conference or journal, in the following topic areas, but not limited to:

◆ Energy-saving materials and devices

◆ Low-power circuit and system

◆ Energy-aware and energy-efficient computing.

◆ Energy-efficient communication, networking, and protocols

◆ Energy monitoring and management

◆ Energy-aware fault tolerance.

◆ Energy-efficient storage systems.

◆ Efficient power generation/conversion

◆ Efficient power transmission/distribution

◆ Smart metering and dynamic pricing

傳統(tǒng)的液柵型石墨烯場效應(yīng)器件，因石墨烯直接與待測液接觸，使得石墨烯溝道極易被污染，致使器件的穩(wěn)定性減小，也不能被重復(fù)利用。因此，頂柵型石墨烯場效應(yīng)管pH傳感器[19]得到了關(guān)注，它以石墨烯材料為溝道并在其表面沉積了絕緣層(如HfO2等)，其結(jié)構(gòu)及電學(xué)檢測示意圖如圖4所示。

◆ Energy-efficient transport and logistics

Guest Editors are also cordially invited to submit proposals for special issues/sections related to Energy-Efficient Technologies to JEST (journal@uestc.edu.cn).

All the manuscripts will undergo the standard peer review process. For manuscript preparation and submission, please follow the guidelines in the Information for Authors at http://www.journal.uestc.edu.cn/. When submitting, please indicate that this paper is intended for EET.

All papers could be submitted via email journal@uestc.edu.cn. For inquiries for EET special section, please contact xiexuan@uestc.edu.cn.
