This special issue belongs to the section “Polymer Composites and Nanocomposites“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to our multidisciplinary Special Issue "Advanced Polymers and Polymer Composites for Energy Storage and Conversion". Polymers and their modified derivatives play a crucial role in cutting-edge applications related to energy generation, storage, and conversion. Their impact spans diverse fields, including batteries, supercapacitors, organic electronics, electrocatalysis, CO2 reduction, photovoltaics, NOx reduction, water electrolysis, sensors, thermoelectric generation, fuel cells, conductive polymers, and smart polymers.
This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest advancements in polymer modifications, fabrication techniques, and their role in shaping next-generation energy technologies and materials engineering. We welcome original research and review articles exploring novel polymeric materials, innovative design strategies, and their potential to drive breakthroughs in efficient energy storge, utilization, and conversion.
We welcome your contributions in advancing the frontiers of polymer science, and encourage you to share your expertise and contribute to this exciting Issue to drive impactful innovations in polymer-based research.
Dr. Mobinul Islam
Guest Editor
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. 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.
