Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the design, synthesis, and application of polymer nanocomposites in advanced energy storage systems. With the rising demand for high-performance batteries and supercapacitors, polymer nanocomposites are emerging as key materials due to their unique ability to combine the properties of polymers with nanoscale fillers. These composites offer enhanced electrochemical stability, improved ionic conductivity, and better mechanical integrity, making them ideal candidates for use in energy storage devices such as lithium-ion batteries, solid-state batteries, and supercapacitors. This issue will cover topics including novel nanocomposite formulations, advancements in conductive polymers, and innovative applications in next-generation battery technology. Contributions exploring the role of nanocomposites in improving battery performance, safety, and sustainability are particularly encouraged.

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.
