How do we discover new energy solutions?
Research into catalysis could hold the answer to this question. The 澳门六合彩开奖记录’s Science Horizons report reveals how catalysis will be crucial to finding solutions to global challenges in the next 10-15 years.
The purpose of our journal is to capture and gather pivotal research in this subject area and inspire change around the world.
EES Catalysis publishes high quality research on energy and environmental catalysis. It delivers the same impact and influence that researchers associate with our Energy & Environmental Science brand. And as a multidisciplinary platform, it covers catalysis in all subject areas like chemistry, materials science and engineering. At its core, EES Catalysis aligns with the – to ensure access to affordable, reliable and modern energy for all.
Hear from our Editor-in-Chief
As a gold open access journal, EES Catalysis aims to publish high quality, transformative and interdisciplinary research on energy and environmental catalysis. I am excited to be Editor-in-Chief of this journal, and I’m keen to help create real-world innovation in the catalysis field.
Journal scope
EES Catalysis is a premier journal, publishing high-quality experimental and theoretical catalysis research for energy and environmental applications. Delivering the same impact and influence which researchers associate with the Energy & Environmental Science brand, EES Catalysis is transdisciplinary, publishing globally impactful energy and environmental catalysis across all scientific disciplines including chemistry, materials science and engineering.
Exceptional research using any type of catalysis is welcome. This includes heterogeneous, homogeneous, molecular and biocatalysis phase-based investigations, and encompasses the fields of thermo-, electro-, and photocatalysis for the production of clean energy, fuels and chemicals, modification/repairing of environment, and improved planetary health.
Both fundamental and applied catalysis research, as well as reports, focused on new reactions, new methodologies, new approaches, and new mechanisms that are of significant general interest to the community, are all welcome.

Featured articles
While CO can already be produced at industrially relevant current densities via CO2 electrolysis, the selective formation of C2+ products seems challenging. CO electrolysis, in principle, can overcome this barrier, hence forming valuable chemicals from CO2 in two steps.
BaTaO2N exhibits hydrogen evolution activity under visible light with wavelengths up to 650 nm and is applicable to Z-scheme overall water splitting (ZOWS). However, the insufficient activity and selectivity of BaTaO2N in the presence of redox mediators limit the efficiency of this process.
The sustainable production of chemicals through COx hydrogenation is a growing area of interest, with thermal catalytic conversion showing the most promise. Selective hydrogenation to high carbon number products (C8+) remains a challenge, and this perspective focuses on recent advancements in heterogeneous catalytic COx hydrogenation to aromatics.
Hydrogen energy, often dubbed the “ultimate energy source”, boasts zero carbon emissions and no harmful by-products. Nevertheless, the storage and transportation of hydrogen remain significant hurdles for its commercialization and large-scale implementation.
Submissions
Submissions are initially assessed and taken through peer-review by our high-profile, internationally-recognised Associate Editors. The journal operates a single-anonymised peer review model, where reviewers are anonymous and author names and affiliations are known to reviewers, and all authors have the option to choose transparent peer review.

Peer review and editorial process
All articles published in EES Catalysis are subject to external peer review by anonymised experts in the field and all manuscripts submitted are handled by a team of internationally recognised Associate Editors, who are all practicing scientists in the field.
The peer review for all articles submitted to the journal consists of the following stages:
- Your manuscript is initially assessed by an associate editor to determine its suitability for peer review
- If the manuscript passes the initial assessment process, the associate editor solicits recommendations from at least two anonymous reviewers who are experts in the field. They will provide a report along with their recommendation
- The associate editor handling your manuscript makes a decision based on the reviewer reports received. In the event that no clear decision can be made, another reviewer will be consulted
EES Catalysis is committed to a rigorous peer review process and expert editorial oversight for all published content. Please refer to our processes and policies for full details including our appeals procedure.
Publication frequency
Articles accepted for publication in EES Catalysis are published online with citeable DOIs as after they are edited and typeset. Articles are then assigned page numbers and published in an issue. Issues of EES Catalysis are published bi-monthly. Please find our most recent issue .
Transparent peer review policy
To support increased transparency, we offer authors the option of transparent peer review, where the editor’s decision letter, reviewers’ comments and authors’ response for all versions of the manuscript will be published alongside the article under an . Reviewers are anonymous unless they choose to sign their report.
Find out more about our transparent peer review policy.
Ethical Requirements
EES Catalysis authors, editors, reviewers and published works are required to uphold the 澳门六合彩开奖记录’s ethical standards. The 澳门六合彩开奖记录 is a member of the (COPE) and our ethical standards follow COPE’s and . In cases where these guidelines are breached or appear to be so, the 澳门六合彩开奖记录 will consult with COPE guidelines and act accordingly.
When a study involves the use of live animals or human subjects, authors must include in the 'methods/experimental' section of the manuscript a statement that all experiments were performed in compliance with the author’s institute’s policy on animal use and ethics; where possible, details of compliance with national or international laws or guidelines should be included. The statement must name the institutional/local ethics committee which has approved the study; where possible, the approval or case number should be provided. A statement that informed consent was obtained for any experimentation with human subjects is required. Reviewers may be asked to comment specifically on any cases in which concerns arise.

Themed Collections
EES Catalysis publishes a number of themed collections every year on timely and important topics, guest edited by members of the energy science community.
All submissions to our themed collections will undergo an initial assessment by the journal Editors and subsequent peer review as per the usual standards of 澳门六合彩开奖记录 journals.

Journal specific guidelines
The following guidelines are journal specific. For general guidance on preparing an article please visit our Prepare your article and Resources for authors pages, the content of which is relevant to all of our journals.
Broader Context
All articles must include a separate paragraph (no more than 200 words) that puts the work into a broader context, highlighting the main advances and their impact on energy and environmental catalysis.
Characterisation of new catalysts
Where the screening of new catalysts is reported, authors should provide a mass balance for all reactions (using, for example, an internal standard in their analysis technique). Recycling efficiencies should be based on reaction rate measurements and not product yield as a function of a cycle. It is highly desirable to report the reaction rate for the catalysts as a turnover frequency or mass-specific activity or, for heterogeneous catalysts, as surface-specific activity.
