Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

As members of the scientific community, we are committed to ideas which are grounded in objective facts. The fact is that the Energy Transition, or the pathway towards a carbon-neutral global energy sector, is an urgent matter. Developments in the field of electrochemistry have great potential to impact every phase of the energy cycle, including fuel production, energy generation, energy storage, and carbon sequestration. That is why we are excited to announce a Special Issue of Applied Sciences, focused on highlighting recent developments in this exciting and important field, “Electrochemistry for the Energy Transition”. Possible topics for papers include electrochemical alternatives to Fischer–Tropsch, novel fuel cell chemistries, advances in flow battery technology, beyond lithium-ion, electrochemical synthesis for carbon sequestration, and analytical methods in energy applications. We look forward to welcoming your contributions to this edition, which will be shared with the broad readership of Applied Sciences, an Open-Access Journal.  

Dr. John P. Alper
Guest Editor

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. Applied Sciences 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.

Removing CO2 from natural gas or biogas in the presence of H2S is technically challenging and expensive as it often requires separation of both acid gases from the gas, typically using an aqueous amine solution, followed by separation of CO2 from H2S and conversion of H2S into solid S. In this work, the proof of concept of electrochemical, instead of thermal, regeneration of an aqueous amine solution is developed. This invention might be a very promising technology and has several advantages. It has H2S versus CO2 selectivity of 100%, can directly convert H2S into S and H2, and is economically competitive with CO2 desorption energy around 100 kJmol−1 and H2S conversion around 200 kJmol−1. If renewable energy is used for electrochemical regeneration, CO2 emissions due to the CO2 capture process can be significantly reduced. Full article
