Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of the journal Polymers, entitled “Polymer Electrolyte: Recent Progress and Applications (2nd Edition)”, aims to bring together papers focused on the recent progress and applications of polymer electrolyte materials concerning optical properties, electrochemical properties, and mechanical properties. These polymeric electrolytes are mainly used for energy, optoelectrochemical, building, and automobile applications. The process and progress of assembling them are also included in this issue. We aim to cover, but are not limited to, the fields of solar cells, electrochromic devices, batteries, fuel cells, supercapacitors, actuators, and sensors. Thus, we want to highlight the efforts of researchers who have contributed to recent development in those fields based on polymer electrolytes as the aim of this Special Issue.

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.
