Metamaterials for Wireless Power Transfer

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to submit original research and review articles to a Special Issue on the topic of “Metamaterials for Wireless Power Transfer” in Materials (IF: 3.623, ISSN 1996-1944).

Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) technology has attracted a great amount of attention due to its convenience, reliability, and safety. However, although the WPT technology has numerous advantages, the transfer efficiency in WPT systems decreases rapidly as the distance increases, and large electromagnetic field (EMF) noise is inevitably generated in WPT charging systems and potentially harmful to electronic components, even to human health. The application of the metamaterial in WPT systems has received a great deal of attention in improving the transfer efficiency and reducing the leakage of EMF in recent years. This Special Issue will include, but is not limited to, the following topics:

• Metamaterial-based WPT systems;
• Electromagnetic compatibility for metamaterial-based WPT systems;
• Metamaterial energy harvesting;
• Theoretical research for metamaterial-based WPT systems;
• Magneto-inductive wave for WPT systems via metamaterial;
• Programmable metasurfaces for WPT systems;
• Other advanced electrical materials in WPT systems, such as superconductor, ferrite and nanocrystalline.

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-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Materials 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.
