Wireless Power Transfer: Material, Technologies, and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to submit original research and review articles to a Special Issue of the journal Electronics on the topic of “Wireless Power Transfer: Material, Technologies, and Applications”.

In recent years, Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) technologies have found many successful applications in Medical Electronics, Consumer Electronics, Internet of Things (IoT), and Electric Vehicles (EV), etc. It is expected that WPT technologies will be widely applied in more commercial products. However, there are many practical challenges ahead to meet the safety and EMC requirements, particularly for long-distance power transfer at high operating frequencies. This Special Issue will include, but is not limited to, the following topics:

• Inductive Power Transfer (IPT) systems;
• Capacitive Power Transfer (CPT) systems;
• Radiative WPT systems;
• Energy harvesting;
• Ultrasonic power transfer, laser power transfer, infrared power transfer, etc.;
• Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC);
• Foreign object detection (FOD) and living object detection (LOD) technologies;
• Electromagnetic materials;
• Sensing and control of WPT systems;
• Practical design and productization of WPT systems.

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. 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.
