Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wireless power transfer (WPT) systems, particularly those utilizing inductive coupling (IWPT), have been under intensive research in recent years. This technology presents many applications, from charging electrical vehicles or mobile devices to powering biomedical devices.
IWPT transmits power through magnetic induction between a transmitter and a receiver coil and relies on resonant circuits to improve and optimize the power transfer. The transmitter coil is powered with a high-frequency current (from a few kHz up to a few MHz), which induces a current in the receiver coil that can be connected to any load, including batteries.
IWPT techniques allow the power to be transferred without electrical contact, making it possible to transfer energy when wired connections are impractical or even impossible. Also, it can transfer power in harsh environments with water, dust, or dirt.
Additionally, these systems reduce the utilization of sometimes bulky, heavy, and expensive batteries, which is particularly important in applications such as electric vehicles and implantable biomedical devices.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
