Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Low-cost processes for hydrogen production are deeply investigated by many research groups. Hydrogen can be produced by different procedures such as thermal, electrolytic, and photolytic processes. Water electrolysis, as an electrolytic process, can result in zero greenhouse gas emissions, using renewable energy inputs, where water is split into two compounds in an expensive process. Electrolysis produces clean hydrogen although it has as disadvantages its low kinetics and usually expensive technology.
Hydrogen production by electrooxidation processes is increasingly playing a decisive role in renewable energy storage and use, as a clean energy source. Here, organic waste water appears as a source of hydrogen at room temperature at a reduced cost compared to current hydrogen generation treatments that require high temperature and have significant costs.
The use of organic waste water as a source of hydrogen arises from the difficulties of the treatment of the abundant organic wastes, either industrial, farming, food processing, or domestic. Every year millions of tons of waste water are generated, and there is not a single treatment able to reduce the organic contaminants below regulations and environmental requirements. In addition, hydrogen generation is increasingly important on account of its multiple applications as a clean energy vector.
This Special Issue aims to contribute to the demonstration of the possibilities and costs of waste water electrolysis processes for hydrogen generation and simultaneous organic pollutants reduction at ambience temperature. We invite you to submit papers on innovative technical developments, reviews, and case studies relevant for hydrogen generation from waste water electro-oxidation processes.

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.
