Polymers for Energy Storage Material

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Due to numerous environmental issues, the development and sustainable storage of renewable energies is highly desired. Polymers and their composites have recently received significant attention due to their potential applications in electrode materials and electrolytes, such as high-performance supercapacitors, fuel cells, lithium-ion batteries, dye-sensitized solar cells, solid-state batteries, rechargeable batteries, phase change material, electrolyzers, electrochemical sensors, and electrochromic windows. In recent years, polymers are increasingly being employed in many areas of energy storage. This Special Issue on “Polymers for Energy Storage” covers the synthesis of advanced polymer materials, their physicochemical, optical, and electrochemical properties, the modulation of polymers and device architectures promoting highly capable energy storage and their applications, utilization of polymers in energy storage technologies, nanostructured polymers (or nano-polymers), advanced polymer-based processes for divergent energy storage applications involving a sustainable approach viz. solar energy systems, electrochemical cells, photocatalysts, artificial photosynthesis, fuel cells, supercapacitors, CO2 conversions, or rechargeable batteries and phase change materials. In addition, feature articles and review papers on the progress of polymer materials in the energy storage area are welcomed. This Special Issue aims to facilitate the advancement of research related to polymers for sustainable energy storage through original research articles.

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.
