Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Increasing demand for electrochemical systems in responding to several societal needs, including renewable energy harvesting and storage, healthcare services, and environmental protection, requires the development of new sustainable materials and composites with superior performances.
This Special Issue aims to highlight recent advancement in the development of polymer-based composites for a wide spectrum of applications towards more sustainable life, involving photovoltaic systems, electrocatalysis, electrochemical sensors, electrochemical assisted water remediation, rechargeable batteries, and supercapacitors. Consequently, the scope of this Special Issue includes (but is not restricted to):
- The synthesis and characterization of new functional polymer-based composites;
- The development of polymer-based solar cells (DSSCs), perovskite solar cells (PSCs), and organic solar cells (OSCs).
- The development of new electrocatalysts towards electrochemical water splitting, CO2 reduction, nitrogen reduction, oxygen reduction, nitrite/nitrate reduction, etc.;
- Electrode and membrane for fuel cells, rechargeable batteries, redox flow batteries supercapacitors, and electrolysers;
- Functional materials for electrochemical sensing application and electrochemical-assisted water remediation;
- Cell design and architecture.

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. Polymers 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 2700 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.
