Research on Functional Polymer Materials as Electrode Materials or Electrolytes

Dear Colleagues,

With the development of the market for electric vehicles and the demand for grid-scale energy storage, there is an urgent need to increase the energy density and safety of the existing energy storage devices. Emerging electrode materials or electrolytes are key factors in driving energy storage devices to high safety and high specific energy densities. As an abundant and green resource, functional polymers are an important member of electrode materials and electrolytes, and the development of polymeric materials with advanced functionalities can address this new challenge. This Special Issue focuses on the most recent research advances on functional polymer materials for electrode materials and electrolytes. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the abovementioned themes.

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.
