Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electroactive materials, encompassing organic conjugated conducting polymers, redox-polymers and metal–organic frameworks play an important role in the wide range of emerging applications, such as supercapacitors development, cathodes, anodes and conductive binders for battery applications, chemical sensors and microelectronics. Furthermore, novel types of electroactive materials are finding more opportunities in the development of medical systems such as actuators, drug-delivery systems and tissue engineering. Studying the mechanisms of charge transfer reactions in electroactive materials and their composites is a fascinating field, combining molecular science, nanomaterial science and physical chemistry. Further exploration of the interconnection between the structure, morphology and charge transfer properties of electroactive materials helps in the future design of new smart materials and their compositions with superior characteristics.
The present Special Issue in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences aims to cover the recent development in the field of synthesis and functional modification of a novel type of electroactive materials with improved charge transfer characteristics, as well as discuss novel fundamental concepts, theories and models providing insight into the interplay between the structure, morphology and charge transfer characteristics of electroactive materials and their composites.
Topics of interest for the Special Issue include, but are not limited to:
- Electrochemical characterization of electroactive materials and composites;
- Design, surface modifications, analysis of new materials and composites;
- Multiscale modeling of functional materials and their composites.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
