Abstract

This perspective describes recent advances made in the development of various electrochemical technologies to treat waste water containing organic pollutants, reducible/oxidizable and non-reducible/non-oxidizable anions and cations using redox reactions on the solid surface as well as at the interface between solid electrode and liquid electrolyte. Some of representative multiplexing and hybrid electrochemical treatment technologies are discussed, which have great advantages of high efficiency, stability and cost-effective instrumentation without the need of considering non-specific conditions such as high-temperature and high-pressure; however, choices and usages of electrode materials are absolutely critical issues.
