Catalysis Science & Technology is a leading international journal for the publication of the highest impact articles reporting cutting-edge developments across the catalysis science community. The journal places equal focus on publications from the heterogeneous, homogeneous, organocatalysis and biocatalysis communities, containing a balanced mix of fundamental, technology-oriented, experimental and computational original research and reviews, thus appealing to both academic and industrial scientists.Original research articles published in the journal must show new catalytic discoveries that are a significant advance on previously published work, bringing conceptual advances, or molecular insights to catalytic processes, and where appropriate, demonstrate the relationship between synthesis, structure and performance of catalytic systems. Kinetics and mechanisms are a central part of catalysis science and should be included in submitted articles.Examples of topics within the journal’s scope and the expected significance are:In-depth mechanistic insights through advanced methods and theoretical methods that are of significant and direct interest and impact in the science and application of catalysts and catalytic processes. Studies using concepts are preferred to trial and error optimisationNew catalysts and/or processes for conversions of current and future interest within life sciences, pharmaceuticals, polymers, environmental protection, energy and fuels. Studies that report incremental improvement of catalytic performance will not be published in the journalNew catalytic reactions with significant impact in addressing current challenges and societal demands, for example waste reduction, reduced energy use or efficient use of feedstocksStudies that relate chemical reactions at surfaces, reactivity of metal complexes, or macromolecular structure to catalytic function and processes. Studies emphasising sophisticated materials and properties with residual evidence of catalytic function will not be published in the journalTheoretical studies of materials and molecules (exhibiting catalytic turnover) that result in significantly greater performance or understanding of existing catalytic reactionsStudies on multiscale modelling, for example, engineering of catalytic processes from the nano to the macroscaleSynthesis strategies for inorganic materials, hybrid materials and macromolecules that can be used as catalysts or their supports. Studies that claim catalyst performance must support this with kinetic data and proper mass balancesThese criteria will be used by our associate editors and reviewers to assess the significance of each submitted manuscript.

《催化科學與技術》是一本國際領先期刊，發表了最具影響力的文章，報告了催化科學界的前沿發展。該雜志同樣關注來自異構、同質、有機催化和生物催化領域的出版物，其中包含了基礎研究、技術導向、實驗和計算原始研究和評論的平衡組合，因此對學術和工業科學家都有吸引力。在雜志上發表的原始研究文章必須展示新的催化發現，這是對先前發表的工作的重大進展，為催化過程帶來概念上的進展或分子見解，并在適當的情況下證明催化系統的合成、結構和性能之間的關系。動力學和機理是催化科學的核心部分，應該包含在提交的文章中。期刊范圍內的主題和預期意義示例如下：通過先進的方法和理論方法深入了解機械原理，這些方法和理論方法對催化劑和催化過程的科學和應用具有重大的直接意義和影響。使用概念的研究優先于試驗和錯誤優化。在生命科學、制藥、聚合物、環境保護、能源和燃料中用于當前和未來利益轉化的新催化劑和/或工藝。報告催化性能逐漸改善的研究將不會發表在期刊上。在應對當前挑戰和社會需求方面具有重大影響的新催化反應，例如減少廢物、減少能源使用或有效使用原料。表面化學反應、金屬配合物反應性或大分子結構與催化功能和過程相關的研究。強調復雜材料和性能的研究以及催化功能的殘留證據將不會發表在期刊上。對材料和分子（表現為催化轉化）的理論研究，其結果顯著提高了現有催化反應的性能或理解。多尺度建模研究，例如從納米到宏觀的催化過程工程。無機材料、雜化材料和可用作催化劑或載體的大分子的合成策略。聲稱催化劑性能的研究必須用動力學數據和適當的質量平衡來支持這一點。這些標準將被我們的助理編輯和審稿人用來評估每一份提交稿的重要性。
