Aims and Scope
The series Topics in Current Chemistry Collections presents critical reviews from
the journal Topics in Current Chemistry organized in topical volumes. The scope
of coverage is all areas of chemical science including the interfaces with related
disciplines such as biology, medicine and materials science.
The goal of each thematic volume is to give the non-specialist reader, whether in
academia or industry, a comprehensive insight into an area where new research is
emerging which is of interest to a larger scientific audience.
Each review within the volume critically surveys one aspect of that topic and
places it within the context of the volume as a whole. The most significant
developments of the last 5 to 10 years are presented using selected examples to
illustrate the principles discussed. The coverage is not intended to be an
exhaustive summary of the field or include large quantities of data, but should
rather be conceptual, concentrating on the methodological thinking that will allow
the non-specialist reader to understand the information presented.
Contributions also offer an outlook on potential future developments in the field.

Sonochemistry: from Basic Principles to Innovative

The term ‘‘sonochemistry’’ is used to describe the chemical and physical processes
occurring in solution through energy provided by ultrasound (in the range from
20 kHz to 2 MHz). The effects of ultrasound are the consequence of the cavitation
phenomenon,namely the formation,growth,andcollapseofgaseous microbubbles
inliquidphase.Theintenselocaleffects(mechanical,thermal,andchemical)dueto
thesuddencollapseofthesemicrometricbubbleslieattheoriginofallapplications
ofsonochemistry.Useofultrasoundinchemicalprocessesincreasedbetween1980
and 2000, and the corresponding literature has increased enormously in volume
from 2000 onwards, reporting many applications in several areas including but not
limited to sonocatalysis, organic chemistry, materials preparation, polymer chem-
istry, biomass conversion, extraction, electrochemistry, enzymatic catalysis, and
environmental remediation.
The potential of sonochemistry is often directly connected to the choice of the

is provided in this contribution.
Further contributions highlight how sonochemistry represents a key area for
research and innovation in chemistry. Indeed, the conditions obtained in a medium
submittedtoultrasoundcanaccountforalargenumberofphysicochemicaleffects,
such as enhanced kinetics of chemical reactions, changes in reaction mechanisms,
emulsification effects, erosion, crystallization, and precipitation, among others.
Sonochemistry is multidisciplinary, and recent advances highlighting this are
reported in this topical collection, in particular applications such as organic
chemistry (Prof. Draye’s group), synthesis of nanostructured materials (Prof.
Suslick), synthesis of photoactive materials (Prof. Colmenares’ group), advanced
oxidation processes (Prof. Neppolian’s group), and treatment of sewage sludge
(Prof. Zielewicz). Results in these areas show that the improvements achieved
require use of recently developed sonochemical processes.
The combination of sonochemistry with other innovative technologies is also
highlighted, using microwave irradiation (Prof. Cravotto’s group), ionic liquids as
solvent or catalyst (Dr. Chatel), and coupling with microfluidics (Prof. Rivas’
group).Inallthesecases,synergisticeffectsareobserved,representinganewsource

The final contribution, provided by Prof. Gogate’s group, covers laboratory
equipment and the opportunity to scale up the technology for maximum process

TheeditorskindlyacknowledgetheTopicsinCurrent Chemistryeditorialoffice
(Springer) for inviting us to compile this comprehensive topical collection on
sonochemistry. We would also like to extend our most sincere gratitude to
international expertsfor their timeand consideration regarding thisproject, aswell
as for their general contributions to sonochemistry science; It was pleasing and
instructive to work with them on this topical collection. Last but not least, we
sincerely thank our publishing editor, Elizabeth Hawkins, and assistant editor, Na
Xu, who patiently and kindly took us through the development of this topical
collection over the past few months to achieve this impressive final result, which
would not have been possible without such support.
We sincerely hope that this topical collection will be useful both to (bio)chem-
istry, chemical engineering, and materials science students, as well as to graduates
interested in green chemical technologies, and wish you an enjoyable and
satisfactory read.

Dr. Gregory Chatel received his Ph.D. degree in 2012 from the Universite´ de
Grenoble (France) under the supervision of Prof. M. Draye and Prof.
B. Andrioletti, studying the fundamentals of and developing a sonochemical
method involving ionic liquids for epoxidation of various alkenes. In 2013, he
joined Prof. R. D. Rogers’ group at the Center for Green Manufacturing at The
University of Alabama (USA) as a postdoctoral research fellow. His research has
focused on applications of ionic liquids in green chemistry, separation, and
biomass processing. At the end of 2013, Dr. Chatel joined the Institut de Chimie
des Milieux et Mate´riaux de Poitiers (IC2MP) of the Universite´ de Poitiers
(France) as an assistant professor to develop a biomass valorization program
based on nonconventional media/techniques, in particular via sonochemistry. In
2014, he became the first president of the French national Young Chemists’
Network (RJ-SCF) of the French Chemical Society. In 2016, he joined the
Laboratoire de Chimie Mole´culaire et Environnement (LCME) of the Universite´
Savoie Mont Blanc (France) to develop his work in organic sonochemistry
through new original processes and applications.

Prof. Dr. Juan Carlos Colmenares Q. graduated from Warsaw University of
Technology (Chem. Eng. 1995) and obtained his M.Sc. (1997) in catalysis for
organic technology and Ph.D. (2004) in chemical and material sciences from the
same university, and his scientific degree of habilitation (D.Sc. 2015) from the
Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Poland.
His interests range from materials science, nanotechnology, and heterogeneous
catalysis to biomass/CO valorization, solar chemicals, sonication, photocatal-
2
ysis, and water/air purification. After obtaining his Ph.D., he worked at the
University of Co´rdoba, Spain (2005–2006) in Prof. Marinas’ group as a
postdoctoral fellow and at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles
(USA) (2006–2009) in Prof. G. A. Olah’s (Nobel Prize in Chemistry) group as a
postdoctoral research associate. He is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellow. He
serves as an expert evaluator for many important scientific journals/institutions
and chemical companies (Colombia, USA, Poland, Spain), and as a member of
the editorial advisory board of the Sustainable Chemical Processes journal
(Chemistry Central-Springer). He has coauthored more than 60 works published
in international scientific journals and books, and filed three patent applications.
Presently, he is working as an associate professor at the Institute of Physical
Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Poland.
