This themed collection aims to highlight the recent advances on the electrosynthesis of chemicals and fuels We encourage contributions on recent green advances in electrochemical transformations, including hybrid processes that combine electrochemical with photo- or biocatalytic (microbial) transformations, catalyst development, electrolyzer cell designs, computational studies, and techno-economic analysis (with a focus on environmental concerns or life-cycle analysis).

Preferred topics include but are not limited to:

• Electrosynthetic reactions with substantial waste reduction and/or safety benefits over conventional thermochemical transformations, such as hydrogenation, oxidation/epoxidation, amination, halogenation, and other coupling reactions
• Conversion and utilisation of biogenic feedstocks such as lignocellulosic biomass and its components, fermentation broths, bio-crudes, and bio-oils
• Conversion and utilisation of aqueous waste streams, including nitrate-rich agricultural runoff, biomass pyrolysis water, and food processing waste streams
• Conversion of synthetic waste such as (micro)plastics
• Generation of renewable ammonia, natural gas, hydrogen, syngas, and fuels from biogenic and synthetic feedstocks
• Capture and conversion of CO2 into products and energy carriers
• Novel processes for sustainable energy storage and release
• Development of new electrolyzer designs and configurations such as paired electrolyzers for greener processes

This call for papers is open for the following article types:

• Communications
• Full papers
• Reviews

If you would like to contribute to this themed collection, you can submit your article directly through the journal’s online submission service. Please answer the themed collection question in the submission form when uploading your files to say that this is a contribution to the themed collection and add a “Note to the Editor” that this is from the Open Call. The Editorial Office reserves the right to check the suitability of submissions in relation to the scope of both the journal and the collection, and the inclusion of accepted articles in the final themed issue is not guaranteed.

All submissions undergo our fair and impartial peer-review and accepted articles will be published online in a citeable form, included in the web collection and published in an issue as soon as they are ready.

Scientists all over the globe are developing innovative technologies that will be key in achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals. At the same time, some scientific research is contributing to greenhouse gas emissions, plastic waste, and other environmental issues. This presents many challenges as well as opportunities for researchers, who are increasingly aware of the environmental footprint of their work.

You and your research have the power to make the world a better place. If you’re looking into developing new sustainable technologies or finding cleaner chemical solutions, then we want to hear from you. RSC Sustainability is a dedicated forum for your quality discoveries, offering a space for research to grow and make an impact around the globe.
