Application of Electrochemical Technology for Water and Wastewater Treatment

Dear Colleagues,

Access to clean water is an essential pillar of human civilization. However, water systems, including natural aquatic environments and artificial water treatment facilities, are constantly threatened by  pollutants. To address this issue, diverse decontamination technologies have been developed. Electrochemistry-based technologies showcase competitive and attractive advantages in advancing the development of tunable and stable water and wastewater  treatments for effective and efficient decontamination, as well as bio-energy and resource recovery. Moreover, electrochemical approaches serve as promising modules to combine biological processes and other multidisciplinary pipelines to meet the increasing demands of decontamination. In this regard, innovative electrochemical technologies with broad applicability and relevant mechanistic understandings of their environmental implications are of fundamental and practical interest. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to shed light on recent primary discoveries on the application of electrochemical technologies in water and wastewater  treatment. Original research papers with high scientific quality as well as state-of-the-art review articles are welcomed. The topics covered in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:

Used in water and wastewater treatment:

• Effective electrode materials/catalysts;
• Insightful mechanisms on electrode interfacial reactions;
• Pollutant transformation in electrochemical systems;
• Bio-electrochemical technology;
• Development of electrochemical equipment for engineering application.

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. Water is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
