Advanced Technologies in Microbial Fuel Cells and Bioelectrochemistry

Dear Colleagues,

The ability of microorganisms to act as biocatalysts for electrochemical energy transformation has led to microbial fuel cell technology. This technology offers a wide range of possibilities for dealing with the world’s most pressing problems, such as energy storage problems, resource depletion, and environmental pollution, contributing to water–energy–food, circular economy, and climate neutrality. The most relevant MFC applications are related to the energy generation combined with wastewater treatment; generation of biohydrogen; biosensors for BOD, toxicity, and health; and others not so extended such as desalination of water, generation of acetate, ammonia, and phosphate recovery. In this sense, we are interested in articles that explore the most relevant challenges of this technology. Potential topics include but are not limited to the following: efficient materials, recyclable and biodegradable materials, new and innovative MFC applications, real application demonstrations, minimization of energy losses, coupling of MFC with other technologies, and simulation of MFC behavior in order to predict its behavior in large-scale applications.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
