Research into catalysis could hold the answer to discovering new energy solutions. The purpose of EES Catalysis is to capture and gather pivotal research in this subject area and inspire change around the world. At its core, EES Catalysis aligns with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 7 – to ensure access to affordable, reliable and modern energy for all.

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.

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.
