Themed issue: In honour of Prof John Kilner

04 Feb 2022

By Geraldine Hay, Deputy Editor.

We are delighted to share with you a new Journal of Materials Chemistry A themed issue in honour of Prof John Kilner, on the occasion of his 75th birthday!

During his long, productive career, John Kilner has made numerous seminal contributions to the broad field of Energy Materials, advancing the fundamental understanding of critical processes in solid state batteries and solid oxide cells, and in particular, pioneering the development of methods to directly measure the ionic transport of species in solids. His work has transformed our understanding of the kinetics of surface exchange and diffusion in solids, including the cation segregation process at surfaces, transport along and across grain boundaries, as well as the effect of strain on ion mobility. More recently, he has extended his work to provide unique insights into the development of Li conducting garnet type solid state electrolytes, including focusing on processing of these materials and understanding the impact of humidity on function and stability. We hope that you will join us in celebrating his achievements and continued contributions to the field.

We hope you enjoy reading this collection of papers in Journal of Materials Chemistry A in honour of John Kilner, and guest edited by Stephen Skinner, Viola Birss, Jennifer Rupp and Roger De Souza. A selection of papers can be found below, or you can access the full issue here.

Journal of Materials Chemistry A call for papers: Single-Atom Catalysis

08 Sep 2021

By Jane Chan, Editorial Assistant.

Journal of Materials Chemistry A is delighted to announce a call for papers for its latest themed collection on “Single-Atom Catalysis” Guest Edited by: Zhiqun Lin (Georgia Institute of Technology, USA) , Maria Escudero Escribano (University of Copenhagen, Denmark), and Jun Li (Tsinghua University, China)

Single-atom catalysts (SACs) with isolated metal atoms dispersed on solid supports have emerged as a new frontier in catalysis science owing to their great potential to bridge the gap between heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis. The active centers of this new class of materials possess unique electronic structure and unsaturated coordination environments, which have been proven to improve catalytic activity in a variety of reactions. Moreover, the homogeneity in the active sites and geometric structure of SACs, which show similarities to their homogeneous catalyst analogs, afford them a great potential to enhance selectivity because of similar spatial and electronic interactions to substrates.

In this context, it is pertinent to compile this themed issue centering on recent rapid development in the field of SACs. To this end, this themed collection of Journal of Materials Chemistry A aims at providing a platform for recent developments in this rapidly evolving field of SACs including synthetic strategies, selectivity regulation, theoretical understanding of the catalytic activity and stability, single-atom alloy, support effect, and novel applications in electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, photoelectrocatalysis, selective hydrogenation, and other fields. We hope that readers find this themed collection informative and useful.

This call for papers is open for the following article types:
• Communications
• Full papers

Submission Deadline: 27th September 2021

If you would like to contribute to this themed issue, you can submit your article directly through the journal’s online submission service at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jmchema. Please add a “note to the editor” in the submission form when uploading your files to say that this is a contribution to the themed issue.
