Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wireless power transfer (WPT) is an emerging technology that eliminates physical connections, offering significant advantages in system reliability, safety, user friendliness and fully automated battery charging. While WPT has been widely adopted in low-power consumer electronics, its potential for high-power applications, such as electric vehicles, marine systems and various special applications, continues to expand.
However, the performance of high-power WPT systems is closely tied to advanced control strategies, electromagnetic metamaterials, shielding techniques and coupler designs. For example, the dual-sided multi-phase control strategy can fully utilize the converter's regulation role in impedance matching and improve system efficiency. New materials, such as nanocrystalline, provide opportunities to further enhance power density, efficiency and thermal management. Furthermore, information exchange between the transmitter and receiver faces challenges in extreme environments such as the ocean. To fully leverage the advantages of the WPT system, complementary advancements in compensation topologies, system modeling and control are essential.
This Special Issue aims to bring together researchers, engineers and stakeholders to share the latest findings and foster collaboration on emerging WPT technologies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Novel magnetic materials and their applications;
- Electromagnetic compatibility and shielding metamaterials;
- Magnetic field analysis and coupling mechanism design;
- Topology design and parameter optimization;
- System modeling and advanced control strategies;
- Design and control for high misalignment tolerance;
- Simultaneous wireless power and data transfer;
- System parameter identification;
- High-power wireless power transfer;
- Dynamic wireless power transfer;
- Special applications of wireless power transfer;
- Review papers on techniques and development.

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. Electronics 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.
