Scope
The journal is an essential resource for energy researchers and cuts across chemistry and its interfaces with materials science, physics and biology – covering evolving and emerging areas such as the following:
- Solar energy conversion including photovoltaics and artificial photosynthesis
- Energy storage including batteries, flow batteries and supercapacitors
- Catalysis for energy technologies, including the sustainable synthesis of fuels and chemicals, and molecular/bioinspired catalysis
- Electrocatalysis, photocatalysis and thermal catalysis
- Fuel cells
- Hydrogen production, storage and distribution
- Carbon dioxide utilisation, including fuels and chemicals from carbon dioxide
- Biorefining and Biofuels
- Capacitive desalination and desalination batteries
- Other sustainable energy conversion technologies including thermochemical, piezoelectric and thermoelectric materials and devices
Energy science and technologies that avoid the use of critical raw elements or detrimental environmental effects during preparation, manufacture and end-of-life are particularly encouraged.
Readership
The journal appeals to a broad international readership spanning many communities, including all academic and industrial scientists interested in the development of alternative sustainable energy technologies.
