Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wireless Energy Transfer (WET) is a rapidly evolving technology with the potential to revolutionize power delivery across various sectors, including renewable energy, electric vehicles, biomedical devices, and smart grids. As the world moves toward sustainable development, efficient and eco-friendly energy transmission is becoming a critical focus. This Special Issue seeks to explore innovations, challenges, and future directions in WET technologies that contribute to sustainability and energy efficiency.
Key topics include inductive, resonant, and radiative wireless power transfer (WPT); advancements in high-efficiency energy harvesting; integration with renewable energy sources; and applications in urban infrastructure and remote locations. Additionally, the Issue addresses technical challenges such as power loss, electromagnetic interference, system scalability, and safety concerns. Recent breakthroughs in high-frequency resonant circuits, metamaterials, and AI-driven optimization have significantly improved WPT performance.
However, key challenges remain, including efficiency limitations, regulatory constraints, and material sustainability. The transition to wireless smart grids, autonomous electric vehicle charging, and self-powered IoT networks presents exciting opportunities, yet requires overcoming technical and economic barriers. This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest research and innovations, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration to drive the future of wireless energy transfer for a greener, more sustainable world.

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-anonymized 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.
