HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE PORTFOLIO

SPECIAL ISSUE

Sustainable Chemo- and Bio-Catalysis: From Academia to Industry

This special issue showcases original contributions that clearly demonstrated the sustainability and merits of topics significant to the synthetic chemistry community, and in particular, sustainable or green chemistry that is a state of continuous evolution. We highlight advances in catalysis through developing technologies that involve biocatalysts, earth-abundant metals, sustainable reaction media, under the guidance of the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry, with topics potentially impacting the future manufacturing of organic molecules, including micellar catalysis, organometallic catalysis, biocatalysis, and electrocatalysis.
COLLECTION

Environmental Research Addressing Sustainable Development Goals

The United Nations 2030 Agenda’s fifteen-year plan to achieve the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). ES&T and ES&T Letters are proud to support and accelerate progress towards achieving these fundamentally important global standards, through the publication of impactful research in the journals. The dissemination of high quality, novel, and cutting-edge research nurtures and supports further discovery and enables solutions to attain these goals. This team of guest editors has curated a virtual collection of some of the most impactful previously published papers in both journals, providing a small glimpse into recent research that has helped to make the world a better place, for all.
