ACS Catalysis
ACS Catalysis is a peer‑reviewed scientific journal published by the American Chemical Society focusing on research in catalysis, including homogeneous catalysis, heterogeneous catalysis, electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, enzymatic catalysis, and theoretical studies. The journal publishes original research articles, Reviews, Perspectives, and special issues that bridge chemistry, materials science, chemical engineering, and energy research. It serves a global readership spanning academic institutions, national laboratories, and industrial research centers.
ACS Catalysis publishes full‑length research Articles, Review articles, Perspectives, and Editorials covering catalytic materials, mechanisms, catalyst design, reactor studies, and computational modeling. Topics routinely intersect with work at institutions such as Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Max Planck Society, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, California Institute of Technology, University of Cambridge, University of Oxford, ETH Zurich, and National University of Singapore. The journal attracts submissions from researchers associated with organizations like ExxonMobil, BASF, Shell plc, Dow Chemical Company, TotalEnergies, DuPont de Nemours, Bayer AG, Johnson Matthey, Toyota Motor Corporation, and Siemens. Editorial leadership has drawn on scholars affiliated with universities including Princeton University, Harvard University, University of California, Berkeley, Imperial College London, Seoul National University, and University of Tokyo.
ACS Catalysis was launched in 2011 by the American Chemical Society to address growing interdisciplinary research in catalysis across chemistry and engineering. Its founding built on the legacy of ACS journals such as Journal of the American Chemical Society and Chemical Reviews, and was influenced by advances reported at conferences like the Gordon Research Conferences, European Congress on Catalysis, American Chemical Society National Meeting, and the International Congress on Catalysis. Early editorial board members included researchers who had worked at institutions like Brookhaven National Laboratory, Argonne National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories, National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and Scripps Research. Over the 2010s the journal expanded special issues reflecting themes from meetings such as the Materials Research Society symposia, collaborations with the Royal Society of Chemistry and thematic crossovers with Nature Catalysis and Chemical Society Reviews.
The journal’s scope emphasizes mechanistic insight, catalyst discovery, and scalable processes with relevance to energy conversion, chemical synthesis, and environmental remediation. Manuscripts undergo peer review managed by an editorial office situated within the American Chemical Society framework and handled by associate editors who are faculty at institutions such as Columbia University, Yale University, University of Illinois Urbana–Champaign, University of California, Los Angeles, Cornell University, University of Texas at Austin, Purdue University, University of Michigan, and University of Wisconsin–Madison. Policies align with standards promoted by organizations like the Committee on Publication Ethics, and editorial practices intersect with initiatives at National Institutes of Health when data sharing or reproducibility concerns overlap with public funding. The journal accepts submissions reporting experimental, computational, and combined studies, and maintains guidelines on data availability, conflict of interest disclosures, and ethical conduct reflective of practices at institutions such as Wellcome Trust and European Research Council.
ACS Catalysis is indexed in major abstracting services and bibliographic databases including Science Citation Index Expanded, Scopus, PubMed, ChemAbstracts Service, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. The journal’s metadata are tracked by services operated by Clarivate, Elsevier, and CrossRef, and its digital content integrates with platforms like the American Chemical Society Publications portal, institutional repositories at universities such as University of California, University of Toronto, and national libraries including the Library of Congress and the British Library.
Since inception the journal has achieved significant citation impact and recognition within the catalysis community, often cited alongside legacy journals such as Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Journal of Catalysis, Chemical Communications, Advanced Materials, ACS Nano, Energy & Environmental Science, Nature Chemistry, Science, and PNAS. It has influenced research directions in electrocatalysis for fuel cells and electrolyzers, photocatalysis for solar fuels, and heterogeneous catalyst design for petrochemical and fine‑chemical industries referenced at institutions like MIT Energy Initiative, Joint Center for Artificial Photosynthesis, and Helmholtz Association centers. The journal’s editorial metrics are reported in annual analyses by Clarivate Analytics and discussed at symposia convened by organizations such as the American Institute of Chemical Engineers.
Notable Articles include landmark reports on single‑atom catalysis, CO2 reduction electrocatalysts, ammonia synthesis under mild conditions, and photocatalytic water splitting involving researchers from Columbia University, Tsinghua University, Peking University, Seoul National University, Tohoku University, University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, Georgia Institute of Technology, National University of Singapore, and University of Melbourne. Special issues have focused on themes linked to events like the International Conference on Catalysis and Chemical Engineering, the Gordon Research Conference on Catalysis, and collaborative collections honoring prizeees of awards such as the Wolf Prize in Chemistry, Nobel Prize in Chemistry, and the Priestley Medal. Guest editors have included scientists from Imperial College London, ETH Zurich, Max Planck Institute for Coal Research, Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, and Riken.
ACS Catalysis recognizes scholarly excellence through editorial highlights, citation‑based acknowledgments, and involvement in prize symposia connected to awards such as the ACS Award in Pure Chemistry, ACS Catalysis Lectureship for the Advancement of Catalytic Science, Royal Society of Chemistry Catalysis Award, and thematic prizes tied to conferences organized by Society of Chemical Industry and American Institute of Chemists. The journal’s contributors have been recipients of major honors including the Wolf Prize, Nobel Prize, Copley Medal, Priestley Medal, Davy Medal, Welch Award, and national science prizes awarded by bodies like the National Science Foundation and Japan Society for the Promotion of Science.
