Functional Thin Films and Energy Materials is an international, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to publishing high-quality research and reviews on the development, characterization, and application of advanced thin-film and functional materials for emerging technologies.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Energy materials for solar cells, batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells, and thermoelectrics
• Optical and photonic materials, coatings, and devices
• Electronic and dielectric materials for flexible electronics and microdevices
• Thin film deposition techniques (e.g., PVD, CVD, ALD, sputtering) and nanofabrication
• Multifunctional heterostructures and smart surfaces
• Characterization methods (e.g., spectroscopy, microscopy, magnetometry)
• Device integration and performance analysis under real-world conditions

Aims and Impact:

The journal aims to bridge the gap between materials synthesis, thin-film engineering, and practical device applications across energy, electronics, and magneto-optical technologies. It targets researchers in academia, industry, and government working at the intersection of materials science, physics, nanotechnology, and energy engineering.
