Advances in the Applications of Conductive Polymers in Battery Technologies

Dear Colleagues,

Conductive polymers have garnered significant attention in recent years due to their unique electrical, electrochemical, and mechanical properties, making them promising candidates for energy storage and conversion devices. This Special Issue focuses on the latest advances in the synthesis, characterization, and application of conductive polymers in battery technologies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the development of novel conductive polymers, hybrid materials, and their integration into various battery systems such as lithium-ion, sodium-ion, and solid-state batteries. We also welcome studies on the mechanisms, performance optimization, and long-term stability of these materials.

The aim of this Special Issue is to highlight innovative approaches that enhance the performance, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness of batteries through the use of conductive polymers. Researchers and practitioners from academia and industry are invited to contribute original research articles, reviews, and case studies that provide insights into the potential of conductive polymers in revolutionizing energy storage technologies.

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.
