Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Batteries and supercapacitors are both promising energy storage devices that use polymer-based composites as key components. Polymer-based composites typically comprise a polymer matrix and conductive fillers that enhance the material's electrical conductivity. Polymer electrodes provide high energy density, good flexibility and processability, and consistent cycle performance. By adjusting the molecular structure of the polymer and the dispersion state of the filler, the conductivity and energy density of the electrode can be further augmented. In general, polymer-based composites have crucial application value in batteries and supercapacitors, and through further research and development, more efficient and stable energy storage devices are expected to be achieved. Both original contributions and synthesis articles (comprehensive reviews) are welcome. This Special Issue is dedicated to the latest research on Polymer-Based Composites for Batteries and Supercapacitors.

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.
