Journal of Materials Chemistry A is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering materials research for energy and sustainability. It publishes research on materials for energy conversion, energy storage, and related technologies, emphasizing experimental studies and theoretical investigations relevant to applications in photovoltaics, batteries, and catalysis.
The journal was established in 2013 as part of a reorganization of materials journals that involved publishers such as Royal Society of Chemistry, reorganizing earlier titles associated with editors and institutions including University of Cambridge, Imperial College London, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, Harvard University, University of Oxford, ETH Zurich, Max Planck Society, California Institute of Technology, Tsinghua University, Peking University, Seoul National University, University of Tokyo, KAIST, University of California, Berkeley, Columbia University, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, University of Chicago, Princeton University, Yale University, Cornell University, Duke University, Northwestern University, University of Michigan, University of Texas at Austin, University of Pennsylvania, Johns Hopkins University, University of British Columbia, McGill University, University of Toronto, University of Sydney, University of Melbourne, Imperial College, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore University of Technology and Design, École Polytechnique, Sorbonne University, University of Paris-Saclay, University of Geneva, University of Copenhagen, Lund University, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Uppsala University, University of Groningen, Delft University of Technology, RWTH Aachen University, Technical University of Munich, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Indian Institute of Science, IIT Bombay, IIT Kanpur, IIT Madras, University of São Paulo, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, University of Buenos Aires, National University of Singapore, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, City University of Hong Kong.
The journal focuses on materials for energy-related applications and sustainable technologies, accepting work on photovoltaics, solid-state batteries, fuel cells, supercapacitors, photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, thermoelectrics, and energy-efficient optoelectronics; topics intersect with researchers from National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Argonne National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Brookhaven National Laboratory, CNRS, CEA, Fraunhofer Society, Helmholtz Association, Riken, Australian National University, CSIRO, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Weizmann Institute of Science, Tel Aviv University, Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, and industry partners such as Samsung Electronics, Panasonic, LG Electronics, Tesla, Inc., Siemens, General Electric, BP, Shell plc, ExxonMobil, TotalEnergies, BASF, 3M, Intel Corporation, IBM, Microsoft research groups. Editorial priorities emphasize experimental rigor, reproducibility, characterization methods linked to facilities such as Diamond Light Source, European Synchrotron Radiation Facility, Advanced Photon Source, SOLEIL, SPring-8, KEK, and modeling tied to computational centers like Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility, NERSC, Barcelona Supercomputing Center, Tianhe.
Published by the Royal Society of Chemistry, the journal operates on a hybrid and fully open access model with article processing charges consistent with comparable titles from publishers such as Elsevier, Springer Nature, Wiley-Blackwell, Taylor & Francis, IEEE, ACS Publications, Frontiers, IOP Publishing, American Institute of Physics, and MDPI. It issues themed collections and special issues guest-edited by researchers affiliated with institutions including University of Cambridge, ETH Zurich, Imperial College London, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University and partners in consortia such as European Union Horizon projects and collaborations involving Horizon 2020, Horizon Europe, US Department of Energy, European Research Council, UK Research and Innovation, National Science Foundation.
The journal is indexed in major databases hosted by organizations like Clarivate Analytics (Web of Science), Scopus (Elsevier), PubMed Central, Chemical Abstracts Service, INSPEC, EBSCO, ProQuest, and cataloged by libraries including British Library, Library of Congress, National Diet Library (Japan), Bibliothèque nationale de France, German National Library, National Library of Australia. Its impact metrics are often compared with journals such as Nature Materials, Advanced Materials, Energy & Environmental Science, ACS Energy Letters, Nano Letters, Chem, Materials Horizons, Small, Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Physical Review Materials, Science Advances, and Nature Communications.
The editorial board comprises academics and researchers from institutions including University of Cambridge, University of Oxford, Imperial College London, ETH Zurich, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, Harvard University, Princeton University, Caltech, Tsinghua University, Peking University, Seoul National University, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, National University of Singapore, University of Toronto, McGill University, University of British Columbia, University of California, Berkeley, University of Michigan, National Institute for Materials Science (Japan), Chinese Academy of Sciences, Max Planck Society, CNRS, CEA, and industry scientists from Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology, Panasonic Corporation, Bosch, Siemens AG. Peer review follows single- or double-anonymized processes managed by editorial offices in coordination with manuscript systems provided by vendors like ScholarOne, Editorial Manager, and overseen by policies referenced by funding agencies such as Wellcome Trust, Gates Foundation, European Research Council, US National Institutes of Health.
Published works include influential studies on perovskite photovoltaics tied to research groups at University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, University of California, Berkeley, University of Tokyo, Seoul National University, Tsinghua University, advances in lithium-ion and post-lithium batteries from teams at Argonne National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, research on solid-state electrolytes involving Toyota Motor Corporation collaborations, and catalytic materials reported by researchers at Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research, Weizmann Institute of Science, Technion, EPFL, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich. Contributions have influenced industrial efforts by Tesla, Inc., Panasonic, LG Chem, Samsung SDI, CATL, BYD Company, and informed policy discussions involving International Energy Agency, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and funding bodies such as UK Research and Innovation and National Science Foundation.
Like many high-profile journals, the title has faced debates over reproducibility and data integrity highlighted in forums involving Retraction Watch, investigative reporting from outlets such as Nature, Science (journal), and panels convened by institutions including Royal Society, National Academy of Sciences (United States), German Rectors' Conference, Office of Research Integrity, and university investigatory committees at Harvard University, Stanford University, MIT, leading to occasional corrections and retractions coordinated with authors and institutions such as University of Cambridge and Peking University.
