Virtual Issue: Blurring the Lines Between Catalysis Subdisciplines

ACS Catalysis introduces “Blurring the Lines between Catalysis Subdisciplines.” This Virtual Issue compiles selected examples of papers that cut across boundaries between traditional catalysis subdisciplines. ACS Catalysis is celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2020 and its 10th volume of publication. When ACS Catalysis published its first issue in January of 2011, the journal launched with the vision of being a place where researchers in all catalysis subdisciplines would choose to publish their best work. This anniversary year is an occasion for reflecting upon the aspirations outlined in the journal’s inaugural editorial 10 years ago.

The 25 papers included in this collection are but a small fraction of the papers that blur the lines between traditional catalysis communities, with many more examples published over the 10 volumes of ACS Catalysis to date.

ACS Catalysis encourages authors and readers to click the below cover graphic to download a full-sized copy and celebrate research that blurs the lines between catalysis subdisciplines.
