Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electrochemistry makes simple and useful procedures available to provide answers to multiple questions raised in different areas such as technology, energy production and storage, medicine, and the environment.
Thus, nano-electrochemistry enables the development of new materials and nano-materials, with a high amount of added value, which can be used for technological applications such as minimizing the unwanted phenomenon of the corrosion of metallic structures. Also, they can be used in the production of energy from renewable sources that, in contrast to sources derived from fossil fuels, minimize the emission of greenhouse gases. They could also become the basis for the development of new energy matrices, friendly to the environment, that serve as energy storage systems.
The development of electrochemical sensors and biosensors constitutes another important application. In medicine, the implementation of electrochemical biosensors contributes to the development of a more personalized medicine. Its use allows for the development of in vivo electrochemistry on which to support a more selective diagnosis and, consequently, an individualized treatment, which can sometimes even be monitored electrochemically, based on obtaining simple and reliable information at the molecular level.
The application of electrochemical methods to solve environmental problems is also another important field of attention. The electrochemical remediation of soils and aquifers allows for the elimination of various pollutants and toxic substances (drugs, herbicides, industrial waste) that cannot be destroyed by other procedures and that, if not eliminated, will eventually enter the human food chain.
In this Special Issue, research papers or comprehensive reviews related to advances in the knowledge of the different subjects related to electrochemistry are welcome to be submitted.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
