Fund Project: Supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China(No. 52000025), the Key Research and Development Program of Guangdong Province, China(No. 2020B0202010005), the Key Research and Development Program of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China(No. 2021GG0300) and the Key Research and Development Program of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, China(No. 2018BBF02021).

Heavy metal ions(HMIs) are toxic and non-degradable, possessing a serious threat to the ecological environment, biodiversity and human health. Electrochemical method is an effective method for treating HMIs wastewater, and electrode materials are the critical components in the removal of HMIs. This work reviewed the mechanism of HMIs in the process of electrochemistry, such as electrosorption, electro-oxidation, electro-reduction, and electrodeposition. In addition, the effect of electrode materials on the removal of HMIs was also discussed, including removal efficiency, removal mechanism and current efficiency. At last, the development trends of electrochemical methods and electrode materials were prospected according to the advantages and bottlenecks of HMIs removal.
