Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of next-generation energy storage devices, such as Li-ion batteries, Li-sulfur batteries, solid-state batteries, supercapacitors, fuel-cells, etc., has the potential to revolutionize industries ranging from renewable energy to electrical vehicles and Internet of Things (IoTs) applications. The use of polymeric materials for applications in energy storage devices has attracted significant attention because of their multiple advantages over inorganic materials. In this Special Issue, we welcome contributions that investigate the synthetic approaches, fundamental structure properties, and mechanical, electrical, optical, and thermal properties of the polymers and polymer composites for next-generation energy storage devices. We also welcome articles exploring the application of these materials in interdisciplinary fields related to energy storage and conversion, including interface engineering, flexible electronics, implantable medical devices, microbatteries and microsystems, etc. The submission could be formatted as an original research article, review, mini review, or perspective.

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.
