Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Access to water is a universal right; however, worldwide there is a great shortage, especially regarding good treatment practices. In this sense, electrochemical processes have become an important, but above all efficient alternative to carry out treatment of water contaminated with different organic compounds. Processes such as electro-oxidation, electro-Fenton, photoelectro-Fenton, photoelectrocatalysis, or electrocoagulation, as well as combinations thereof, have become among the most studied and applied advanced electrochemical oxidation processes (EAOPs) worldwide. This is because their main reactant is the electron, which operates under normal conditions of pressure and temperature and in most cases does not generate residues, since it mineralizes organic compounds. Based on this idea, we are interested in articles that explore the treatment of organic compounds in water, both in synthetic solutions and in real wastewater developed at the laboratory or pilot plant level, based on the following topics:
- Electro-oxidation
- Electro-Fenton
- Photoelectro-Fenton
- Photo-electrocatalysis
- Electrocoagulation
- Combinations thereof

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.
