Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advanced polymer materials have been widely applied in state-of-the-art ion batteries. Benefiting from their unique features such as their chemical structure, functional groups, mechanical strength, thermal stability, electrochemical activity, and rheological properties, polymer materials are applied as functional components in safe batteries to achieve prolonged lifespan, increased energy density, and enhanced reliability. This Special Issue aims to develop a high-quality article collection (including review papers and original research papers) about the application of advanced polymer materials in safe ion batteries. Manuscripts focusing on the following topics are highly welcome:
- The design of safe polymer electrolytes for high-energy-density batteries;
- The design of ultra-high electrochemical interphases with well-designed polymer coating layers;
- The development of smart polymer materials for battery safety;
- The development of crucial polymer components in safe ion batteries;
- The development of characteristic technologies for advanced polymers in safe ion batteries.

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.
