Polymer Materials for Electrochemical Applications

This special issue belongs to the section “Polymer Applications“.

Special Issue Information

Dear colleagues,

Polymeric materials have played a significant role in the development of modern technologies. Historically, polymers were famous for their insulating properties, light weight, easy availability, and mechanical strength. They hold an important role in everyday life worldwide on account of their wide range of properties. The latest developments in the field of polymer science have extended this role further to their applications in electronic devices and different electrochemical systems. The present age can truly be called a ‘polymer age’. The development of polymers that are fit for electrochemical applications is an important driving force of modern research. Unlike metals, they can be easily synthesized and have the ability to undergo reversible ductility and deformation. This Issue aims to highlight the efforts of those researchers who have contributed towards the development of modern electrochemical systems utilizing polymers as a part of the system. This can include the utilization of polymeric materials for applications as electrode material or vise versa for electrochemical applications including, but not limited to , energy storage and conversion, sensors and biosensors, corrosion protection, and CO2 reduction.

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.
