Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electrolytes have played important roles in energy storage, osmotic pressure and photovoltaic performance. Liquid electrolytes have displayed an outstanding performances in Li-ion batteries in recent decades, with high ionic conductivity and great connections with electrode materials. However, the use of liquid electrolytes often causes risks associated with leakage, evaporation and combustion. Therefore, polyelectrolytes (PELs) are potential candidates to replace liquid electrolyte systems. Besides, PELs have received increasing research attention due to their relevant characteristics, which extend from their liquid electrolytes and solid electrolytes.
Thus, this Special Issue is devoted to the survey of recent progress in this multidisciplinary area of PELs for robotics, wearable devices or self-charged sensor applications. Original contributions and reviews focusing on aspects ranging from their design and production to their characterisation and applications, along with a deep understanding of their physical performance, are welcome. The scope may include, but is not limited to, electrodes, membranes, hydrogels, electrolytes or PEL as process aids.
We think that you could make an excellent contribution to our journal and would like to invite you to submit a paper.
The submission deadline is 5 October 2021. You may send your manuscript immediately or at any point until the deadline. Submitted papers should not be under consideration for publication elsewhere. You can also submit to this special issue two month after the deadline.

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.
