Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With an ever-growing passion for mobility, the number of batteries used in mobile electronic and electrical devices has increased significantly over the last decades. They all need to be recharged over time. Conventional charging methods based on direct electrical contact with the charging device have many disadvantages, such as sparking of electrical contacts (which may lead to problems in chemical plants), low reliability (because contacts can wear down, especially in humid environments), the need for very accurate positioning of a mobile object, and so on. Therefore, wireless charging based on wireless power transfer (WPT) technology has been proposed. Wireless charging does not have the disadvantages mentioned above. However, there are still many issues (e.g. not very high efficiency of dynamic WPT systems, low cost-effectiveness of dynamic WPT systems, difficulties in limiting leakage electromagnetic fields of static and dynamic WPT systems, etc.) that should be addressed.
This Special Issue focuses on improving the performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness of wireless chargers with inductive and capacitive WPT technology. Research articles on other types of WPT technology (e.g. microwave WPT, laser-based WPT, etc.) for battery charging, as well as review articles on static and dynamic WPT, are also welcome. Potential research topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Novel or improved control techniques of static or dynamic wireless charging systems for better efficiency, reliability, and cost-effectiveness;
- Novel or improved topologies of wireless charging systems;
- Design and optimization of static or dynamic wireless charging systems;
- Modeling and optimization of inductive WPT systems and WPT coils considering EMC and field leakage;
- Modeling of electromagnetic fields generated by WPT systems;
- Novel or improved EMI suppression techniques applied to WPT systems;
- Wireless battery charging in wireless sensor networks.

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. 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.
