In-situ characterisation of heterogeneous catalysts

17 Nov 2010

Heterogeneous catalysis is a core aspect of the energy, automotive, chemical and pharmaceutical industries as most chemical reactions are catalysed by at least one material containing a multitude of often distinct catalytic functionalities. The genesis and working principles of heterogeneous catalysts still very important scientific challenges to both academic and industrial scientists.

In this themed issue, the final issue of 2010, guest editor Bert Weckhuysen (Utrecht University, the Netherlands) introduces a collection of 28 reviews covering the advantages, limitations, challenges and future possibilities of in-situ catalyst characterisation techniques.

Supramolecular chemistry of anionic species

17 Sep 2010

Anions are key to many processes, both industrial and biological, playing crucial roles in both health and the environment. Their role, function and properties are at the heart of many scientific research programmes within the field of supramolecular chemistry.

In the latest Chem Soc Rev themed issue, guest editors Phil Gale and Thorri Gunnlaugsson have collected together a series of reviews covering many recent advances in this exciting area of chemistry. Topics include sensing, transmembrane lipid-bilayer transport of anionic species, urea-based receptors and conformational control using anions.

Read the full issue, which includes a preface from the guest editors, 10 tutorial reviews and 14 critical reviews. If you have any comments on this issue or suggestions for future themed issues, or you would like to write a review for the journal, please leave your comments below or contact the Editorial Office.

And if you enjoy this issue, you’ll also enjoy Phil Gale’s ChemComm Highlight in Chemistry entitled ‘Anion Receptor Chemistry’.

Peptide and protein based materials

20 Aug 2010

This themed issue reviews the progress in peptide and protein-based materials, guest edited by Rein Ulijn and Derek Woolfson.

The past 10 years have seen enormous progress in the design and engineering of protein- and peptide-based (polypeptide-based) functional nanomaterials. As a result, some of these are now temptingly close to applications in energy, nanotechnology and biomedicine. Given this progress and the promise of applications with real societal beneﬁt now on the horizon, it is perfect timing to publish a themed issue on the topic of peptide and protein-based materials in Chem Soc Rev.

This themed issue can be found in Chem Soc Rev issue 9, 2010, covering the forefront research on design, synthesis, engineering, characterisation and functionalization of materials wholly or partially composed of peptide or protein components.

Conducting Polymers for Carbon Electronics

14 Jul 2010

This issue reviews the progress in conducting polymers since Heeger, MacDiarmid & Shirakawa won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

It has been 10 years since the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Alan Heeger, Alan MacDiarmid and Hideki Shirakawa for the discovery and development of conducting polymers.

During this time, major progress on conducting polymer research, combined with the recent developments in nanoscience and technology, has been accomplished. It is therefore perfect timing to publish a themed issue on the topic of conducting polymers for carbon electronics, covering the forefront research on conducting polymers as well as on the composites of conducting polymers with C60 fullerene, carbon nanotube (CNT), graphene, organic single crystals, biological molecules and biopolymers. In Chem Soc Rev issue 7, 2010, both fundamental properties and applicability of this research have been reviewed by worldwide leading scientists in physics, chemistry, biology, materials science and engineering.
