Electronic waste (e-waste) has been widely studied by scholars all over the world, but the research topics and development trends in this field are still unclear. This study aimed to explore the status quo, hot topics, and future prospects in the field of e-waste. Data of publications were downloaded from the Web of Science Core Collection. We used CiteSpace V, Histcite, and VOSviewer to analyze literature information. A total of 2800 papers in e-waste research were identified, and the number of publications increased rapidly after 2004. Six thousand five hundred seventy-three authors participated in the e-waste research, but 70.01% of the authors published only 1 article. The most productive country in this field was China (1146 publications), and the most productive institution was the Chinese Academy of Sciences (370 publications). The Waste Management (225 publications) was the most productive journal, and Environment Science & Technology (9704 co-citations) was the most co-cited journal. The main hot topics in e-waste field were management and recycling of e-waste in developing countries, health risk assessment after exposure to organic pollutants, degradation and recovery of waste metal materials, and impact of heavy metals on children's health. The frontier topic was degradation.
电子废物（e-waste）已被世界各地的学者广泛研究，但该领域的研究主题和发展趋势仍不明确。本研究旨在探讨电子废物领域的现状、热点和未来前景。从 Web of Science 核心合集下载出版物数据。我们使用 CiteSpace V、Histcite 和 VOSviewer 分析文献信息。确定了 2800 篇电子废物研究论文，自 2004 年以来，出版物数量迅速增加。6573 名作者参与了电子废物研究，但 70.01%的作者仅发表了 1 篇文章。该领域最具生产力的国家是中国（1146 篇出版物），最具生产力的机构是中国科学院（370 篇出版物）。《废物管理》（225 篇出版物）是最具生产力的期刊，《环境科学与技术》（9704 次共引）是最常被引用的期刊。电子废物领域的主要热点是发展中国家电子废物的管理和回收、接触有机污染物后的健康风险评估、废金属材料的降解和回收、以及重金属对儿童健康的影响。前沿主题是降解。
