Herein, we review the recent progress of rational strategies to enable the use of microsized alloy anodes (Si, P, Sb, Sn, etc.) including electrolyte modulation, binder design and architecture engineering. We also provide perspectives on future directions and remaining challenges of microsized anodes towards practical applications.
In this work, the main factors affecting the reaction performance of Pd-based catalysts for direct synthesis of H2O2 and the active sites of catalysts have been reviewed and discussed in detail. The development and design of catalysts with high efficiency were introduced from three aspects: the catalyst support, active component and atomic impurity.
The influence of the Pt nanoparticle size on the ammonia electrooxidation reaction was investigated. PM-IRRAS was combined with electrochemical measurements to explore ammonia electrooxidation on carbon-supported Pt/C NPs in alkaline environments. The study demonstrated a clear relationship between the nanocatalyst size and catalytic activity.
This study presents a new equivalent circuit model to analyze impedance spectra at low hydrogen partial pressures. The proposed model accurately describes the impedance response and explains the performance decrease at low hydrogen concentrations.

The Journal of Organic Chemistry (JOC) & Organic Process Research & Development (OPR&D) are announcing a joint Special Issue: Excellence in Industrial Organic Synthesis 2024. This unique compilation will feature work from research teams across the chemical enterprise, from the broad field of industrial process chemistry but also presenting academic results that are immediately relevant to industrial applications.
Research that capitalizes on industry-academic collaborations and work from start-up companies is welcome, especially strategies that address the question of how the chemical industry can develop next-generation value chains and processes for a sustainable future to tackle challenges in raw materials supply, energy demand, pollution prevention, and greenhouse emissions.
Accepted manuscripts for consideration in this Special Issue will include Full Articles (JOC and OPR&D) and Notes (JOC). Papers accepted for publication for this Special Issue will be available ASAP (as soon as publishable) online as soon as they are accepted and will be published in the next journal issue. After all submissions have been published, they will then be compiled online on a dedicated landing page to form the Special Issue. Manuscripts submitted for consideration will undergo the full rigorous peer review process expected from ACS journals.
Including a clear, articulate safety summary statement in your research is vital to ensuring that others who reproduce or expand upon your work can prepare for significant hazards and conduct their own methods as safely as possible. Read more about crafting safety statements in our ACS Axial post series.
Papers may be based on work that is experimental or theoretical, mathematical or descriptive, chemical, physical or biological. In addition to fundamental research (in such areas as thermodynamics, transport phenomena, chemical reaction kinetics and engineering, catalysis, separations, interfacial phenomena, and materials), papers may deal with process design and development (for example, synthesis and design methods, systems analysis, process control, schemes for data correlation, modeling and scale-up procedures, etc.) and product research and development involving chemical and engineering aspects (for example, catalysts, plastics, elastomers, fibers, adhesives, coatings, paper, membranes, lubricants, ceramics, aerosols, etc.). In addition to traditional subjects, papers dealing with new areas of science and technology that fit the broad scope and objectives of the journal are encouraged.
The Editors generally seek the advice of fellow experts about manuscripts. The recommendations of reviewers are advisory to the Editors, who accept full responsibility for decisions about manuscripts. Final responsibility for acceptance or declination rests with the Editor. Manuscripts considered by the Editors to be inappropriate for I&EC Research will be declined after an internal Editorial review. Manuscripts most likely to be declined after Editorial review are those with English deficiencies, those lacking conclusions that are clearly significant and novel, and those with contributions that are judged unlikely to attract the interest of a general applied chemistry or chemical engineering readership.
