Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The concept of wireless power transfer can be traced back to Tesla’s experimentation in 1899 and has experienced renewed momentum since the introduction of resonant coupling wireless power transfer technology in 2007. So far, some commercial products based on near-field wireless power transfer have been successfully rolled out. Far-field wireless power harvesting has been considered a promising and key enabling technology for energizing a large-scale sensing and communication network.
Challenges in wireless power transfer and harvesting attract plots of research efforts, such as enhancing operating distance (near-field), improving rectifying efficiency (far-field), optimizing system-level integrated design, and identifying emerging applications. This Special Issue aims to invite submissions related to wireless power transfer and harvesting technology that highlight recent advancements and provide a forward-looking perspective.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Inductive wireless power transfer;
- Capacitive wireless power transfer;
- Static and dynamic wireless charging;
- Acoustic, optical, and solar wireless power transfer;
- High-frequency rectifying circuit design;
- Rectennas and antenna design for rectifiers;
- Simultaneous wireless information and power transfer;
- Hybrid power harvesters;
- Battery-free sensing and communications systems;
- Backscattering, RFID, and electronic tags.

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. Energies 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 2600 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.
