Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymeric materials for energy storage and conversion have been extensively investigated in recent years. Various advanced energy materials with excellent performance and well-designed structures have been adopted in sensors, capacitors, flexible electronics, energy converters, etc., leading to significant improvement in the performance of devices, recycling stability, and durability as well as enhancements to other electrical and physicochemical properties. The recent advancements in polymeric materials for energy devices have introduced novel technologies for exploring the mechanisms underlying their enhanced performances; this progress will assist the development of new energy-storage and conversion technologies.
This Special Issue focuses on polymeric materials for energy conversion and storage applications. It covers the research areas of energy harvesting, conversion, and storage, including the techniques of capacitors, sensors, batteries, thermoelectrics, photovoltaics, piezoelectrics, etc. It aims to help all potential readers receive this field's valuable aspects.

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.
