Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) use microbial electrochemical technologies (METs) in which microorganisms act as biocatalysts enhancing specific oxidation or reduction reactions. In METs, microorganism catalysts bring the oxidation reaction to the anode and a reduction reaction to the cathode. These electroactive microorganisms are capable of releasing electrons to the electrode (anode) or accepting electrons from the electrode (cathode) through their metabolism. It could be applied to energy production, green chemicals production, bioremediation, biosensors, etc. Many factors including microorganisms, electrodes, proton-exchange membranes, reactor design, operating parameter, etc., could affect the overall performance of the MET device.
This Special Issue on “Recent Advances in Microbial Electrochemical Systems: Application Processes and Characterization Tools” seeks high-quality works focusing on the latest novel advances in microbial electrochemical technology. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Advanced Electrode Materials;
- Bioelectrochemistry of Biofilms;
- Biosensing Applications of MESs for Microbial Detection;
- Bioremediation Technology on Wastewater and Bioresource Recovery;
- Novel MES Structures.

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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
