Aims

Electrochemical Engineering (EE) is a gold open access, peer-reviewed journal that serves as an international multidisciplinary platform which aims to publish innovative research, comprehensive reviews, and critical insights across the broad spectrum of electrochemical engineering. The journal seeks to advance the understanding and application of electrochemical principles in diverse industrial, environmental, and energy-related processes.

We welcome original, high-quality interdisciplinary electrochemical engineering research papers with broad impact. Priority will be given to studies that significantly advance fundamental understanding. We offer the following articles:

• Communication focusing on urgent matters or the reporting of preliminary research findings that are highly original,  immediate interest and will have a high impact;
• full paper comprising original and previously unpublished work providing a significant development in the electrochemical engineering field of analysis and are judged according to originality, quality of scientific content and contribution to existing knowledge;
• critical review articles provide a definitive, comprehensive review but must provide a critical evaluation of the chosen topic area related to the field of electrochemical engineering;
• technical innovation/note which provide a description of developments, techniques or applications that offer definite advantages over those already available.

Note that studies that are purely descriptive, repetitive and incremental will not be considered.

Electrochemical Engineering is published quarterly online by Scilight Press.

Scope

The journal’s scope encompasses both fundamental research and innovative applied studies into the development of electrochemical engineering. Subject areas may include, but are not limited to:

• Energy conversion and storage such as batteries, fuel cells, supercapacitors, electrolysers and hybrid systems that convert and store energy efficiently.
• Electrochemical synthesis and material processing including electrodeposition, electroplating, and surface modification techniques.
• Corrosion science and protection reporting investigation into the mechanisms of corrosion, methods for monitoring, and the development of protective coatings and mitigation strategies.
• Environmental electrochemistry, for example, development of electrochemical processes for water and wastewater treatment, pollutant degradation, and resource recovery, contributing to environmental sustainability.
• Electrochemical sensors using design and application of sensors and diagnostic tools for detecting chemical and biological species, with emphasis on enhancing sensitivity, selectivity, reliability and sustainability.
• Fundamental electrochemical science with contributions that advance the theoretical and mechanistic understanding of electron transfer reactions, reaction kinetics, thermodynamics, and mass transport phenomena.
• Industrial and process engineering applications reporting application-driven research focusing on the scale-up, integration, and optimization of electrochemical systems in industrial processes and of course using advanced/additive manufacturing.
• Circular economy electrochemistry reporting on integration of electrochemical processes with circular economy principles involving electrochemical technologies to enhance resource efficiency, reduce waste, and promote the recycling or repurposing of materials in closed-loop systems.

Types of submissions not to be considered:

• Papers that do not contributing significant new knowledge to the field of study.
• Bibliometric analysis-based papers.
• Papers that focus solely on data analysis methods, including machine learning techniques, without offering new scientific insights into the system from which the data were collected will not be considered.
• Opinion papers / comments will not be considered further which represent the author's viewpoint, interpretation, or perspective on a particular topic.
• Manuscripts that are primarily data reports without a substantial hypothesis.
• Poorly written submissions with language issues that severely hinder understanding or fail to follow submission guidelines.
• Outdated or irrelevant topic which doesn’t align with current trends, engineering challenges, or technological advancements in the field of electrochemical engineering.

Please refrain from requesting permission from the Editor-in-Chief before submitting a manuscript. Instead, consult the journal's guidelines to confirm if your manuscript aligns with the journal's scope; if it does, you are encouraged to proceed with your submission.
