Abstract
Electrochemical desulfurization technologies have advantages over conventional hydrodesulfurization technologies in terms of low temperature and pressure operation with high product selectivity, which reduces energy consumption.
Authors review the research on electrochemical desulfurization for fossil fuels.  They discuss the principles, electrochemical methods, electrochemical reactors, catalysts and electrolytes employed in the electrochemical desulfurization process; and provide recommendations for future research.
