The prestigious journal Chemosphere (IF 5.778) (ISSN 0045-6535) is currently running a special issue entitled "Emerging Trends in Microbial Fuel Cells Applications for Greener Environmental Protection". As we are acting as guest editors for this issue, we would like to welcome contributions from various disciplines. We kindly invite you to consider submitting your full paper to this special issue.

Submission Period: 20th January 2021-30th June 2021

The technology of Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) is gaining popularity due to its potentiality in generating “green” electricity via a microbiological pathway. This technology resembles a more widely-known Fuel Cells technology, albeit with the use of various aerobic/ anaerobic microbes as the biocatalysts. The number of articles published in the literature reflects its burgeoning popularity. For example, 10 years ago, this area only produces less than 1200 publications (data from ScienceDirect database). In 2015, it has attracted more than 2500 publications. The number of publications continue to grow strongly, and has reached more than 5200-recorded publications in 2020. Significantly, there is a momentous trend of employing MFC in treating waste for “greener” environmental protection, with the benefit of generating electricity as aforementioned. To recognize the growing influence of MFCs in this arena, this VSI is created with the aims of capturing the following research scopes (however, not limited) :

Treatment of recalcitrant waste with high organic loading

Removal or recovery of heavy metals from recalcitrant waste

Investigation of biocatalysts and anodic/cathodic materials

Mechanisms of reactions

Life-cycle analysis for wastewater treatment and valorization by MFC

Latest process intensification techniques in enhancing the performance of MFC, for example, ultrasonication, microfluidic etc.

Augmentation of MFCs with other chemical processes to achieve an integrated solution for real wastewater treatment

Integration of MFC/MES with other sustainable technologies

The focus for this Special Issue will be on how those countries with stated carbon neutrality or net zero goals might achieve their aims, and what cross-cutting insights might be gained from energy transition dynamics observed around the world. This Special Issue seeks to deepen our understanding of enabling and accelerating the green transition of such large economies as China, EU, Japan, UK, and South Korea, and understanding how to accommodate potentially disruptive, non-marginal options for climate change mitigation, and any adverse outcomes they may bring. Contributions could include (but are not limited to) the following:

·Electrification of end-uses (building, industry and transportation);

·Managing disruptive mitigation technologies;

·Energy efficiency improvements;

·Sectoral integration analysis (synergies and trade-offs), grid flexibility (energy storage, demand side management, etc.);

·Pathways with low energy and material demand;

·Behavioural changes;

·Non-CO2emissions reduction;

·Regional, sectoral-level, mid-century strategies;

·GHG-neutral e-fuels (power-to-x technologies);

·Coal phase-out; power plants with carbon capture and storage (CCS);

·Bio-energy with CCS (BECCS);

·Synergies, co-benefits, and trade-offs between climate action and other SDGs.

Environmental pollution due to metal and metalloids are major hurdles in crop productivity and a vital health risk factor for humans. Arsenic (As) is one of the most toxic elements among all the metals and metalloids with detrimental effects on plant life are attributable to many cellular, biochemical processes, physiological disorders, and consequently, loss of crop yield. Contamination of As in the food-chain causes a severe health risk for human and is a key public health alarm globally. Therefore, the research related to arsenic, uptake, transport, its metabolism, detoxification, and remediation techniques including biotechnological interventions is being carried out by many researchers.

In addition, several borderlines, including efflux-influx transporters, phytochelatin (PC) and glutathione (GSH) etc detoxification pathways which can reduce the As accumulation in root to shoot and ultimately from grains may be targeted for further research. In recent year’s genome editing, as well as exogenous and endogenous involvement of ROS, RNS, phytohormones, micro-macro nutrients regulation, signaling molecule’s, and biochar have been found very effective in mitigating arsenic toxicity in plants. This special issue aims to make assemblages of high-quality original research, reviews and opinion articles highlighting the arsenic toxicity, uptake, and transport and remediation strategies in plant biology.

This special issue will mainly address the following scientific issues: 1) Arsenic and environment: Bioavailability and bio-accessibility. 2) Arsenic on growth and developments of plants. 3) Phytohormonal signaling and cross talk and arsenic stress tolerance in plants. 4) Arsenic toxicity and other abiotic stresses in plants: Concepts of stress combination. 5) Recent biotechnological developments in crop improvement for Arsenic stress tolerance. 6) Microbial biotechnology and arsenic stress mitigation for crop developments. 7) Beneficial nanoparticles in arsenic stress mitigation
