ChemComm is publishing its 60th volume in 2024. Over the past 60 years, ChemComm has been the RSC’s most cited journal, and one of the most trusted venues for rapid publication of short communications. In our anniversary year, we recognise the important contributions ChemComm has made, and continues to make, in advancing the chemical sciences.
As part of our anniversary celebrations, we’ve brought together a collection featuring the latest research from some of our most loyal and dedicated authors. From those marking the beginning of their independent academic career by publishing their first article with us, to the rising stars and established leaders publishing in our yearly ‘Emerging Investigators’ and ‘Pioneering Investigators’ collections, this collection champions the contributions of our worldwide author community. We are proud many authors choose to support our journal by regularly publishing their best work with us. This collection also features papers from our ChemComm Emerging Investigator Lectureship winners, and our Outstanding Reviewer awardees, whose invaluable feedback has shaped our published content through the years.
To accompany the collection, we’ll be publishing interviews with contributing authors where they provide further insight into their research and reflect on their journey with ChemComm.
Check out our interview with Professor Yong Ding (Lanzhou University) below!

Yong Ding received his Ph.D. degree from Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2005. Then, he joined Lanzhou University. In 2009, he went to Emory University as a visiting scholar. He is now the director of the institute of physical chemistry of Lanzhou University and is Feitian scholar distinguished professor. He is the editorial board of Chin. J. Catal., Chin. Chem. Lett. and Polyoxometalates. As the corresponding author, he published more than 160 research papers. Ding’s main research interests are as follows: 1) Water splitting; 2) CO2 reduction reaction; 3) Synthesis, characterization and catalytic applications of polyoxometalates. |
How would you describe the peer review process and interaction with the editorial team at ChemComm?
The review speed is very fast, and there is timely interaction with the editorial team
Could you provide a brief summary of your recent ChemComm publication?
My recent ChemComm publication title is Recent development of photocatalytic production of hydrogen peroxide” (10.1039/D4CC01577K), the summary is as follows: This highlight article summarizes the recent developments in the photocatalytic production of hydrogen peroxide. This review first briefly introduces the reaction pathway, detection techniques and evaluation metrics. Then, the recent advances in photocatalysts are highlighted. Furthermore, the existing challenges and possible solutions in this field are presented. At last, we look forward to the future development direction of this field. This review provides valuable insights and guidance for efficient photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide production.
