Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) are emerging sustainable biotechnology for energy production (such as fuel-celled derived electricity, H2, and CH4), wastewater treatment, and production of value-added chemicals such as acetate and ethanol. Development of newer concepts for application as well as alternative materials for electrodes, separators, and catalysts along with innovative designs have made BESs a very promising technology. BESs, however, still face economic and technical challenges, which need considerable attention before achieving full potential on a commercial scale. In this regard, this Special Issue on “Bioelectrochemical Systems for Sustainable Energy Production” extends an invitation to those multidisciplinary studies in both academia and industry related to bioelectrochemical technologies and involved with process design and material fabrication, energy recovery from wastewater, and bioelectrochemical systems. Original research and studies with empirical, theoretical, computational work, and review papers are enthusiastically welcomed. Papers selected after intensive peer-review will be published instantly in the Special Issue of Energies (SCIE journal 2017 IF = 2.676), allowing rapid dissemination of those dedicated works. I am looking forward to your submissions that will have a significant impact on the development of sustainable and environmentally friendly technologies.
Prof. Dr. Sang-Eun Oh

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. Energies 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 2600 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.
