Abstract

From the environmental perspective, it is essential to develop eco-friendly materials for water and wastewater treatment that can be integrated into the most effective technologies till now employed in this field. In this regard, biobased hydrogels (BBHs) represent a simple and free from harmful by-products solution to mitigate global water pollution. BBHs are natural polymers very interesting for their availability, price competitiveness, excellent biodegradability, biocompatibility, hydrophilicity, and superior physicochemical performance in water treatment. This review outlines the recent progress in developing and applying BBHs hydrogels in electrochemical water treatments, from advanced oxidation processes to microbial fuel cells, capacitive deionization, and the most innovative technologies based on the cogeneration of clean water and electricity. In addition, this review covers the BBH’s current limitations, such as low mechanical performance and poor stability, and provides valuable insights into the efficient applications of BBHs in the electrochemical treatments of water purification.

期刊介绍： The development of the Current Opinion journals stemmed from the acknowledgment of the growing challenge for specialists to stay abreast of the expanding volume of information within their field. In Current Opinion in Electrochemistry, they help the reader by providing in a systematic manner: 1.The views of experts on current advances in electrochemistry in a clear and readable form. 2.Evaluations of the most interesting papers, annotated by experts, from the great wealth of original publications. In the realm of electrochemistry, the subject is divided into 12 themed sections, with each section undergoing an annual review cycle: • Bioelectrochemistry • Electrocatalysis • Electrochemical Materials and Engineering • Energy Storage: Batteries and Supercapacitors • Energy Transformation • Environmental Electrochemistry • Fundamental & Theoretical Electrochemistry • Innovative Methods in Electrochemistry • Organic & Molecular Electrochemistry • Physical & Nano-Electrochemistry • Sensors & Bio-sensors •
