Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Advances in Electrochemical Technologies for Environmental Applications have been a topic of increasing interest and research in recent years. Electrochemical technologies offer efficient and sustainable solutions for various environmental challenges, such as water and air pollution, waste treatment, and energy storage. Researchers have been exploring innovative electrochemical processes, materials, and devices to address these issues effectively. These advancements include the development of electrochemical sensors for monitoring environmental pollutants, electrochemical wastewater treatment methods for removing contaminants, and electrochemical energy storage systems for renewable energy integration. Overall, the progress in electrochemical technologies for environmental applications holds great promise for achieving a cleaner and more sustainable environment.

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. Materials 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.

The voltammetric acyclovir (ACV) trace-level determination procedure has been introduced. This is the first time that a commercially available boron-doped diamond electrode (BDDE) coupled with differential-pulse voltammetry (DPV) has been used for this purpose. The commercially available BDDE is characterized by a short response time, low background current, and very good analytical parameters of ACV determination. Ultimately, DPV measurements using the BDDE in 0.075 mol L−1 PBS with a pH of 7.2 under optimized conditions achieved the lowest detection limit (LOD = 0.0299 nmol L−1) reported in the literature for voltammetric procedures. Moreover, it is highly resistant to the presence of various interfering agents and has been used to analyze pharmaceutical and municipal wastewater samples. The obtained results are consistent with measurements made using chromatographic reference methods. Full article
