Wireless Charging Technology and Energy Management for Electronic and Electric Devices

Dear Colleagues,

With more and more autonomous devices emerging in our daily life, such as self-driving cars, there is no reason why they still need to be recharged using wires with human involvement in the future. Wireless charging techniques have been rapidly developed over the last few years and are continuously evolving. For high-power applications, such as charging for electric vehicles, etc., improving efficiency and safety would be the priority. For mid-power applications, such as mobile phones and drones, flexibility and reliability would be the main considerations. For low-power applications, such as small sensors for the Internet of Things, it is important to receive or harvest sufficient energy for the operation of electronic devices.

The aim of this Special Issue is to report the latest theoretical, practical, and industrial progress on wireless charging for electric and electronic devices. The topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• High-power wireless charging technologies for electric vehicles, electric bikes, etc.;
• Mid-power wireless charging technologies for robots, drones, mobile phones, etc.;
• Low-power wireless charging or energy harvesting technologies for medical devices, IoT sensors, etc.;
• Design of magnetic coils and capacitive plates for wireless power transfer;
• Design of resonators for resonance-based wireless power transfer;
• Design of AC/DC (RF/DC) converters and DC/AC (DC/RF) inverters;
• Design of power management systems for wireless charging;
• Health and safety of wireless charging, such as foreign object detection and electromagnetic compatibility issues;
• Simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT).

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. Energies 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 2600 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.
