Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electrodes play an important role in chemical sciences and have broad applications in different areas of research such as batteries development, fuel cell advancement, electrochemical sensing, medical diagnoses, electroplating, chemical analysis, electrochemical synthesis as well as in nanotechnology and bioeletrochemical research. The selection of electrodes is vital in electrochemical transformations to achieve high selectivity and better product yields. There are challenging factors that play a role in electrode’s selection in different fields of chemical sciences such as cost & lifetime, physical & chemical stability, non-toxicity, electrical conductivity, physical nature/form, resistant against corrosion, overpotential and easily manipulable under electrochemical settings. Electrode’s configuration influences their efficiency and could introduce new reactivities. Catalytic-, chiral- and photo electrodes are attractive in electroorganic synthesis and have many benefits such as less waste generation, better atom economy and high selectivities. The development of such electrodes would be a game changer in pharma industry. Computational chemistry, artificial intelligence and machine learning advances could play a key role for better understanding of electrode’s nature and reactivities in chemical sciences. This issue seeks to showcase research papers, communications and review articles that focus on the use of different electrodes in organic transformations (batch & flow) as well as their applications in other fields of chemical sciences.

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 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. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
