Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymers and polymeric composites constitute a unique class of materials, emerging in various fields of applications, including electrochemical energy storage and conversion. Their distinctive physico-chemical and mechanical properties have stimulated new research that looks into fine-tuning their structural, morphological and compositional features to achieve desired properties, required for specific applications, such as electrode or electrolyte materials in energy devices.
Thus, this Special Issue of Polymers will attempt to cover the most recent advances in the area of Polymers and Composites for Electroactive Materials (conducting polymers, metal oxides, carbons and their composites) on account of their promising features for a vast range of electrochemical applications. Suitable topics include, but are not limited to, their design, synthesis, structural and electrochemical characterizations, contributing to the field of energy storage and conversion (different types of batteries, supercapacitors and fuel cells, water electrolyzers, organic electronics, etc.).
It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.

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. Polymers is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
