Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wireless power transfer (WPT) and energy harvesting technologies have attracted increasing attention in recent years due to their strong potential to support next-generation intelligent systems, sustainable electronics, and electrified transportation. With the rapid development of power electronics, advanced materials, control strategies, and integrated energy systems, these technologies are creating new opportunities in a wide range of applications, including consumer electronics, biomedical implants, electric vehicles, sensors, robotics, and the Internet of Things (IoT).
This Special Issue aims to highlight recent advances in wireless power transfer and energy harvesting, with a focus on both fundamental theories and practical applications. We are particularly interested in innovative methods, system architectures, modeling approaches, optimization strategies, prototypes, and experimental demonstrations that advance the state of the art in efficient, reliable, and application-oriented energy transfer and harvesting systems.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Inductive, capacitive, resonant, and hybrid wireless power transfer systems;
- Dynamic wireless power transfer for electric vehicles and mobile platforms;
- Energy harvesting technologies for self-powered devices and sensor networks;
- High-frequency power converters and compensation topologies for WPT systems;
- Magnetic coupler design, shielding, and electromagnetic optimization;
- Control, modeling, and efficiency optimization in WPT systems;
- Wireless charging systems for biomedical, wearable, and implantable devices;
- Integration of WPT and energy harvesting with IoT, robotics, and autonomous systems;
- Power management circuits and energy conversion interfaces;
- Prototypes, experimental validation, and real-world demonstrations.

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.
