Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue entitled “Research Progress in Electrode Materials” aims to provide a platform for disseminating recent advances in the development, characterization, and application of electrode materials across diverse scientific and technological fields. Electrode materials play vital roles across a wide range of applications, including energy storage and conversion systems (such as batteries, fuel cells, and supercapacitors), wearable electronics, implantable biomedical devices, plant and environmental interfaces, and advanced pharmaceutical technologies such as electronic tongue and nose systems.
This Special Issue welcomes studies on novel electrode materials designed for in vivo, ex vivo, and in vitro electrophysiological applications; electrochemical sensing and stimulation; and advanced diagnostic systems. Contributions covering biosensing platforms, neural interfaces, and smart health monitoring systems are especially encouraged. The scope also includes theoretical modeling, innovative fabrication techniques, and interdisciplinary approaches that enhance performance and integration.
By assembling contributions from both academic and industrial researchers, this Special Issue seeks to highlight transformative innovations and broaden the understanding of electrode materials as key enablers across energy, biomedical, pharmaceutical, and environmental applications.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
