Nanotechnology in Electrooxidation

Dear Colleagues,

Electrooxidation-mediated techniques have been successfully used to oxidize many kinds of reactants in various aspects of different areas. The main species involved in electrooxidation treatment are electrons and oxidant agents produced in situ, resulting in direct and indirect electrochemical oxidation via a process that has the advantages of involving simple equipment, easy operation and versatile automation. Successful utilization of such techniques, however, still needs to be approached through fundamental and practical innovations that will allow exacting performance targets to be met. The recent and rapid developments in nanotechnology are not only providing new treatment capabilities that could allow more efficient and economic utilization but also offering new opportunities to enhance the next generation of electrooxidation-enabled technologies.

This Special Issue will present comprehensive research on the developing of nanotechnology-related strategies to improve the performance of current electrooxidation processes. This may include the fabrication of nanostructured electrodes and/or the construction of novel devices to enhance the affordability of nanotechnology. We invite authors to contribute original research articles and review articles covering the current progress in nanotechnology in electrooxidation. Potential topics include but are not limited to chemical production, energy conversion, biomedical treatment and environmental remediation.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2400 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.
