Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The growing threat of climate change has created a demand for sustainable technologies that can help to reduce our reliance on fossil-based energy, fuels, and chemicals.
Bioelectrochemical systems (BESs), such as microbial fuel cells (MFCs), microbial electrosynthesis systems (MESs), microbial desalination cells (MDCs), etc., represent group of technologies that have the potential to offer sustainable alternatives to traditional routes of electricity production, wastewater treatment, chemical synthesis, desalination, etc.
Over the last 5–10 years, there has been significant improvement in BES performance, particularly for MFCs. This advancement is a result of continuing research on highly efficient electrodes, membrane materials, enhanced/enriched bacteria, and new improved reactor configurations.
The present Special Issue aims to collate original research and review articles addressing multiple aspects on performance assessments of bioelectrochemical systems. Manuscripts based on either experimental studies or numerical/theoretical analysis will be considered for publication.

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. Energies 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 2600 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.
