description The direct discharge of untreated organic wastewater poses significant threats to the environment and to human health. To address these threats, electrocatalytic oxidation technology has emerged as a key solution for organic wastewater treatment. Building on research conducted over the past three years, this review highlights the considerable advantages of electrocatalytic oxidation technology in the context of organic wastewater treatment, with a particular emphasis on the application of metal oxide electrodes. The review also provides a summary of the primary methods used in the preparation of such electrodes. Subsequently, the applications of both single-metal-oxide electrodes and metal oxide composite electrodes in organic wastewater treatment are summarized. Finally, we discuss the future development of metal oxide electrodes.
