The electrocatalytic sulfide oxidation reaction (SOR) has emerged as a promising strategy for removing reduced sulfur, owing to its low thermodynamic energy barrier and capacity to generate high-value products. However, current progress remains largely restricted to laboratory studies, and industrial-scale implementation is urgently needed to achieve effective sulfur pollution control and resource recovery. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances in catalyst fabrication, reaction system engineering, and product acquisition, all of which offer opportunities to accelerate the industrial development of SOR. Particular attention is paid to the existence of diverse reduced sulfur species (S2-, HS-, H2S) under varying industrial conditions, as these strongly affect catalyst mechanisms and application feasibility. Building on this foundation, several catalyst design strategies are discussed to enhance catalyst stability and activity. Beyond catalyst design, emphasis is placed on coupling SOR with diverse cathodic reactions for integrated applications and on leveraging novel electrolytic devices to improve process efficiency. Pathways to high-value products are also highlighted, with a focus on diversifying product types and developing cost-effective recovery strategies. This review concludes by discussing current challenges and future opportunities, aiming to provide guidance for advancing SOR from laboratory research to sustainable industrial practice.
