Electrocatalysis – fundamental insights for sustainable energy
Guest Editors: Marc Koper (Leiden University) and Yasuhiro Iwasawa (The University of Tokyo)
PCCP is delighted to announce a high-profile themed issue ‘Electrocatalysis – fundamental insights for sustainable energy’. This will be guest edited by Marc Koper (Leiden University) and Yasuhiro Iwasawa (The University of Tokyo). The themed issue will be published in Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) in 2014.
With the projected future “electrification” of our society through solar and wind power, the conversion of electricity to chemical bonds and vice versa will be an essential field of physical chemistry in the decades to come. Basic fundamental understanding of these processes, both in model studies and at a more device level, requires detailed quantitative physical-chemistry approaches. This themed issue will deal with the physical chemistry approach to electrocatalysis, balancing fundamental and more applied studies, and aims to have a significant impact on the future directions of this important field.
Please contact the PCCP Editorial Office (pccp-rsc@rsc.org) if you are interested in contributing to this themed issue. The deadline for submissions to this themed issue is the 17th January 2014.
PCCP is a sister journal to Catalysis Science and Technology. Catalysis Science & Technology brings together the best quality research from the heterogeneous, homogeneous, organocatalysis and bio-catalysis communities.
