Electrochemical Sensors and Cells for Environmental Applications

This special issue belongs to the section “Electrochemistry“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Several electrochemical technologies have emerged as promising approaches to remediate environmental problems. The applications include environmental monitoring, removal of hazardous species from liquid wastes and polluted soils, conversion of CO2 into feedstock chemicals and fuels, as well as recovery energy and resources from wastes. New research topics continue to emerge. Despite extensive research efforts, many of those technologies are far from being introduced as efficient processes in real world applications. Important barriers need to be overcome to achieve full-scale applications in industry. Therefore, this Special Issue was designed to highlight all contributions that report on experimental and/or theoretical studies aiming for greater understanding and improvement of various electrochemical processes for environmental applications. Researchers are invited to submit their original research as well as review/perspective articles for publication in this Special Issue. Potential topics include but are not limited to:

  • Electrochemical sensors for environmental monitoring;
  • Electrochemical technologies used for energy and resource extraction from wastes;
  • Electrochemical technologies for environmental remediation;
  • Electrochemical processes for CO2 conversion;
  • Electrochemical technologies for waste/water treatment;
  • Electrodes or catalysts based on wastes or eco-friendly raw materials.

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
