Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Conducting polymers have emerged as a fascinating class of materials at the intersection of chemistry, materials science, and electrochemistry. These organic compounds possess a unique blend of properties, combining the flexibility and processability of polymers with the electrical conductivity of metals, while still retaining the structural characteristics of polymers.
Furthermore, over the past few decades, conducting polymers have garnered significant attention from researchers and technologists due to their diverse range of applications in the field of electrochemistry.
This Special Issue aims to gather the latest advances of applications and illustrate the versatility and significance of conducting polymers in the field of electrochemistry. Some of the notable applications for conducting polymers in electrochemistry include sensors, energy storage, electrochromic devices, and actuators, among others.

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. Molecules 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.
