(Photo)electrocatalytic processes have emerged as key technologies for environmental remediation, providing efficient and sustainable solutions for the removal of pollutants in water, air, and soil. This symposium will bring together researchers and professionals in the field to discuss the latest advances in (photo)electrocatalysis applied to pollutant degradation and waste conversion into value-added products within a circular economy framework. Topics to be covered include: i) new trends in the development of (photo)electrode materials, ii) innovative processes for pollutant degradation in water, soil, and air, iii) development of multifunctional materials, iv) integration of these processes into circular economy models, v) use of alternative energy sources, and vi) emerging materials/processes for the sustainable refining of pollutants. This event aims to foster collaboration and the development of innovative strategies to address current environmental challenges.
