Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to our Special Issue on "Efficient Electro-Fenton-Catalysis" in Catalysts. The electro-Fenton process, which integrates electrochemical and Fenton reactions, has emerged as a promising approach for the degradation of organic pollutants in wastewater treatment. Given the increasing global concerns about water pollution and the need for sustainable waste management solutions, this research area is of paramount importance. Advances in electro-Fenton catalysis could significantly enhance the efficiency and applicability of this method, making it a key player in the field of environmental remediation. The primary objective of this Special Issue is to compile the latest research findings in the field of electro-Fenton catalysis, with a specific emphasis on enhancing the efficiency of the electro-Fenton process for the removal of persistent organic pollutants. We aim to investigate various aspects, including the design of catalysts, optimization of reaction mechanisms, and the influence of operational parameters on catalytic performance, thereby promoting the application of electro-Fenton technology in environmental remediation. We aim to curate a collection of at least 10 articles that will enhance the theoretical understanding of electro-Fenton processes while also highlighting practical applications and outlining future directions in this rapidly evolving field. This Special Issue will facilitate a comprehensive exploration of the current advancements and challenges in electro-Fenton catalysis, contributing meaningfully to the ongoing discourse in the field. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome.
Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following:
- Development of novel electro-Fenton catalysts, including nanomaterials and composites;
- Optimization of operational parameters for enhanced pollutant degradation;
- Mechanistic studies on electrochemical reactions in the electro-Fenton process;
- Integration of renewable energy sources in electro-Fenton systems.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
