SUPPORTING JOURNAL
RELATED HIGHLIGHTS AND SPECIAL ISSUES
COLLECTION
Advanced Materials and Processes for Building Low-Carbon Energy System
This collection highlights advances in the material and process development devoted to enhancing clean energy production, storage, and conversion, all aimed at fostering a sustainable, low-carbon future.
COLLECTION
Pore Engineering for High Performance Porous Materials
Porous materials have attracted wide attention because of their unique pore structure, which manipulation of pore structure can significantly change the interaction between the materials and the guest matters, increase the contact area and active sites, change the mass transfer mode, and make the properties change completely.
COLLECTION
Organic Synthesis and Catalysis Enable Facile Access to Bioactive Compounds and Drugs
This Collection showcases the latest advances in organic synthesis and catalysis, highlighting innovative strategies for the efficient and selective construction of pharmaceutically relevant compounds, natural products, and drugs.
COLLECTION
Bioorthogonal and Click Chemistry
Curated by Prof. Carolyn R. Bertozzi, 2022 winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry
The 2022 Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded jointly to ACS Central Science Editor-in-Chief, Carolyn R. Bertozzi of Stanford University, Morten Meldal of the University of Copenhagen, and K. Barry Sharpless of Scripps Research, for the development of click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry.
